This will be my first time building a HTPC. The only thing i'll be using it for is to watch live TV and record TV, basically a DVR. So I want to know if this spec are okay and if it would pass Windows 7 media center digital cable advisor.
I would only be watching SD provided thru my cable company(Cablevision)

* CPU:Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5400 Wolfdale 2.7GHz 2MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor
* Motherboard: Intel BOXDP43TF LGA 775 Intel P43 ATX Intel Motherboard
* Graphics Card (NVIDIA):EVGA GeForce 9500 GT 512MB
* windows 7 Home Premium
* PSU:Thermaltake TR2 RX 450W (W0146)
The PC would be connected to a regular TV with RCA inputs(yellow, white and red) cables via s-video from the Geforce 9500 GT tv-out. The tuner expected to be used is the Ceton CableCard tuner: http://www.cetoncorp.com/ProductsWMCFAQ.php .
