trying to design a new amd system

I need a new computer and so far this is what I have come up with:

amd xp2500+
Asus A7N8X-E deluxe
512 mb ddr pc3200
WD 80gb w/ 8mb cache
Albatron Nvidia Geforce FX5700 256mb ddr 128 bit
Raidmax case model "ATX-822WBP" w/ 420 watt psu
thermaltake polo 735 cooling fan/heatsink

How does this look to you? Would you recommend anything in place of these components? The video card and the heatsink are the two things that I'm most unsure of. I would like this computer to be quiet. Right now I'm planning on buying everything from newegg.com

Also, I would like to be able to watch cable TV and record shows onto my harddrive. What do I need to be able to do this and what would you recommend?

Thanks,
Sven

Nice setup all around:
- Make sure the PSU isnt some noname deal
- Heatsink is a superb one
- Video card is a nice allaround performer

To watch tv youll need a TV tuner either (1) dedicated (i.e., Hauppage) or (2) integrated (All-in-Wonder)
