The P55A-UD3 is the version of the P55-UD3L with USB3 and S-ATA 3 fitted.

That's up to you. If you ever intend to overclock, you should be buying a P55A board not standard P55 as only the P55A boards come with Lotes CPU sockets (the safe ones to overclock with).

The way I see it USB3 and SATA3 may not benefit you now, but it could down the line. Both are a bit rare atm, and I really couldnt predict when there going to go mainstream.

S-ATA 3 is only a matter of time. As for USB3, it's been slow to take off, but eventually I think it will be an absolute godsend when USB3 hard disk boxes become practical.

I'm not that familiar with TV cards since I don't use them, but generally I see good reviews of Hauppauge stuff.

Is it really cheaper to build your own pc ? I have been looking at a few adds showing a pc with monitor and a 2TB drive for about the same price? From ibuypower.com or am I missing something

Work out the value of each component, remembering that prebuilt PCs like IBuyPower use the cheapest and lowest quality components possible, and you'll realise that you're actually saving a fortune building a PC yourself.

P55 boards are standard full-feature boards. H55 boards are fitted with integrated graphics capability should you use a dual core Core i5 CPU with IGP. Due to the nature of systems that use integrated graphics, however, these are typically low-end boards.

Not especially, a few programs are optimised to run better in 64-bit but not that many. The main difference is 32-bit windows can only address 4GB of RAM total, including the memory on your graphics card. It's wise to move up to 64-bit if you want lots of RAM.
