A good 1080p TV will do either 1920 x 1080 or 1920 x 1200 depending on the aspect ratio. Whether or not it has any VGA ports in the back is up to you to read up on.
I have an MSI motherboard with 7.1 built in sound...and switching from that to an old audigy 2 value card I had laying around was night and day for headphones...I can only imagine it would be the same story with a decent surround setup.
*edit* The Audigy card was leaps and bounds better than my onboard
With most current day broadband providers, the download speeds are goodto gowith a lot of people downloading, provided you live close enough to the central office. But, if you are using utorrent or any other file sharing program (however taboo it may be on these boards), make sure you keep the upload speeds of those programs relatively low to keep the connection from slowing to a crawl.
Wow...for a "newb" you seem to have picked up on this rather quickly. 3.6 Ghz is definitely a solid speed to run that processor at (I have my 8400 at 3.4 with a stock cooler).
To answer your closing questions...a BSOD (blue screen of death) isn't the only telltale sign that the CPU isn't happy with the settings it has. But if you can run your stress test without any errors for multiple hours, as well as leave the system on with intermittent gaming and have no problems...that sounds like a good OC to me.
I would definitely look into an aftermarket cooler for the CPU as it could make upwards of a 10+ degree difference in idle temps, let alone load temps. unfortunately, I am not very well versed in the aftermarket cooling scene but I am sure a recommendation or two will come out of this thread. Good job!
I am leaving for a wedding in about two hours...I am undecided on the outfit to wear though. I am not going with a date, just a buddy of mine (insert jokes here, lol) so matching is not an issue. The wedding isn't too formal but there's going to be a lot of well-off people dressed very nicely.
My question is...what combo goes best with a black suit...or grey suit...I'm undecided on that as well, lol.
I can't believe I'm asking a gaming forum for fashion tips but...screw it...let's vote.

apparantly women love it as it is geared towards them. you mean hoodrats?
Have you seen the demographic that is women aged 18-25? They eat this stuff up...nobody knows why...I think that's what the scientists working on the large hadron collider at CERN are trying to figure out right now actually...
If you have one of the cable boxes nearby your Xbox (I assume you do as you are probably playing on a television), just plug the ethernet cable from your 360 into the port on the back of the cable box. Worked like a charmw hen I had U-Verse.
