Good for normal useage I guess but if you intend to do anything serious with the system, a new PSU is something you might consider

I'd avoid AOpen almost like the plague.

How much are you paying for this? (i.e., a more solid board like the ASUS A7N8X's are available for not that much now)

Do you need the specific features of the AIW? If so, have you considered a two card setup? (would be cheaper I think)

You can buy a dedicated gaming card and put that in your AGP slot. And then buy a TV Tuner and put that in a PCI slot. The difference here is that :
1. To keep the TV capability you're not tied to your current video card
2. The AIW is overcharged so even if you buy 9800Pro+ATI TV Wonder, you still save
3. You can get a better card than the 9800Pro and still have TV
