Oh, ok, and then I just run the JPac to the PC, and it will display my video?

This is why I can't wait to get my ProjectArcade book. Good thing is, it shipped this morning!  :cheers:

if you use a JPAC you dont need an arcade VGA. you go from the PC to the JPAC and the JPAC puts the video on the arcade monitor. You dont need a keyboard encoder either, the JPAC takes care of that as well.

Not quite correct.  The JPAC does not convert from 60khz to 15khz.  You still need the video card to get it down to at least 31khz.   The specs say the JPAC can convert 31khz to 15khz but you're better off starting with 15khz to begin with.  You don't need an ArcadeVGA specifically for that, there are lots of ways, but it's misleading to say that the JPAC eliminates the need for the ArcadeVGA.

If I decide to go ahead and use an LCD, will it be a good idea to still run the ArcadeVGA then? Or could I just have the LCD run the resolution i'll need?

If you use an LCD you're not going to have any of these issues.  The 15khz issue is for arcade monitors and televisions.
