Your router has a built in firewall, that'll protect you from alot of things, if it's just a home PC then you don't need one.

WRONG!! Your hardware firewall is not enough at all. What if you download a trojan?
Whats to stop it from outbound activity? Your AV? What it its FUD?

Yes largely i agree.
