IPS will give you much more bang for buck. TN panels with those 1ms-3ms response can seem like they are great but TN only has 6bit color, where as IPS has a range of 8 bit color providing you wide crisper images. A majority of IPS monitors today only have 5ms response times, (they used to be 8ms-16ms). Find a 5ms IPS that suits you, here is a suggestion.

HDMI is required for sound to pass though, so it probably the best cable to go with. :)

First of all, lots of monitors do not have speakers. Using an HDMI cable with a monitor that doesn't have the ability to produce sounds will not give you sound.

Also, monitors that do have speakers tend to have crappy sound quality. OK, maybe I'm biased, with my $200 speakers I wouldn't expect much from the speakers on a $200 monitor.

What I'd recommend is using a DVI or HDMI cable for video, between the graphics card and the monitor; then another cable for sound, between the motherboard's sound outputs and some proper speakers. Even cheap speakers should do better than what you get with the monitors.

IPS IPS IPS. Unless you are some ub3r l33t professional gamer you will not see a difference between 2 and 3~5ms response times.
