I have a NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI LT Motherboard:
Link to full specs: http://www.nvidia.com/object/designed_by_nvidia_680i_lt_sli.html

Full-bandwidth 2 x16 PCI Express slots. Not sure what ver?

What is the best graphics card I can get for this motherboard? I am wanting to spend around $50-100. I need it to have HDMI because I am connecting it to a TV. I would like to stay in the NVIDIA family.

Best card for 100 bucks from the nvidia side would be a 750(non TI) or a 740

If money was unlimited and just using it to stream Netflix and record TV with a TV tuner. What would you recommend? Which PCIe card do I get 1.0, 2.0, 3.0? What does the TI stand for? With the HDMI it will play sound from the video card correct?

All Video cards will be able to use sound via hdmi. If its a new card it will have PCI E 3.0 as thats the current standard. The revision of PCI E just refers to its max bandwith. The TI is a term by nvidia for a slightly higher end card to the normal version. Ie a 750ti has slightly more performance to the 750. You don't need a $100 GPU if your not going to game, If your just watching Netflix any cheap card should do maybe a 740/730

Prefer any manufacturer? PNY, FX EVGA,, and others?

Thats more of a personal preference thing, I worked at AMD, So I have no idea
