The speed at which you can download torrents is dependent on the specific torrent and its trackers, but more importantly your internet connection. Using an efficient client like uTorrent, your PC specs won't limit how you can torrent unless you've got something older than a Pentium 2.
Watching TV on a PC and using a TV as a PC monitor are opposite. Which do you want?

You still seem to want to do it both ways...
If you want to watch TV on your computer screen, you need a TV card. If you want to use a TV as output then you need an S-Video cable, or VGA if you have a HD TV.

If u want 2 watch channels from the pc to ur tv, u will need a graphics card with tv out(yellow coloured jack)/s video out.
