The steel studs are extremely flimsy. You can easily bend them with your hand. Not much strength with these. If you're in the TV area take a ride down to the new construction areas south of 466A. You can find a home like you're interested in and see where the different studs are located. That's what I did so now I have a good knowledge of what I need in each room and on each wall. It's good to know.
