Default Sky on a PC?

Hi all

I have just built a new system to use as a all in one PC (TV, Gaming rig etc) and would like to know if I can run sky through it and then through my monitor? My system is as follows:

INNO3D SL7N73UM-HDMI MoBo
Intel Core 2 Duo E2180
2 GB RAM
XFX 8800GT graphics card
Acer 24" widescreen monitor

Now the monitor only has 1 VGA socket so would need to connect the sky through the PC if possible instead of using a splitter and having to switch between the 2 input signals. Will I need a tv card and if so any recommendations?

Cheers all
