The seconed link is the same as the first, so are wanting to add a better video card and use a tv as the monitor?

Yeah. You'll probably need an switch, and an TV tuner to do that.

whats a switch...and the tv has a tuner built in(well on a PCI slot)

Some like that, but it lets you switch. So when you wanna use your TV, just press one button. To use the computer to watch, press the other button. It jsut switches back and forth. And you just connect the other end to the TV tuner.
