and found this combo package, it's a little bit more money, but a better AMD processor (plus you save $25 in the process)

Note: this motherboard uses DDR2 memory (a bit cheaper than DDR3 at the moment)
Also some G-Skill memory (for about the same price as you're planning to pay)

And a slightly better video card

while on Newegg.com, check through the specifications of each TV tuner to see if it will perform the functions you want, perhaps this one will do:

So I have decided to upgrade my computer and need help from people better with computers than me. I decided on an AMD cpu has i thought for my price range I could get the most performance. But I could be wrong so please let me know. Other than that i am trying to make a well balanced system that can multi task as I like to browse the internet, play games, watch movies and tv on my computer. I will also have my computer hooked up to my tv as a second moniter. And I would also like to hook up my fios (verizon) tv service up to my computer so i can use it as a dvr and second tv, will this tv tuner card enable me to do that? I already have a hardrive, power supply, disk drive, and case. Here are the rest off of newegg where i will buy the parts.
