Ah, the memories of compiling a shopping list for a desktop I was never able to build 
Basic suggestions; 4 Gigs of RAM (DDR2 or DDR3, DDR3 may be slightly more costly, along with the MOBO and possibly Proc supporting it).
Sound is extremely cheap. You can easily find card to fit your needs (movies, games, headphones or 8 ch audio system) for between 20 and 50 bucks.
If your TV has HDMI or DVI hook ups, look for a graphics card that would be able to hook up to it as well. Ya never know when you would want to play that newly downloaded movie on it.
I may just for the fun of it return tomorrow with a list of items that may be good. For newegg.com, my best suggestion is to read the reviews. Everything ive ever thought of buying was mainly based on others reviews posted on the site.
