Howzit guys,

Just busy with my first HTPC.

It needs to be able to play HD content but i dont want to buy a BR player just yet (price will drop pretty soon without the competition of HD dvd). It also should be good enouth to play a few games.

This is the setup i've got in my head, any comments or suggestions?

Case: Antec Fusion Black,Zwart or Thermaltake VF1000BNS, Black with some PSU
MoBo: GigaByte GA-MA78GM-S2H
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4850E BOXED
GPU: Asus EAH3650 SILENT/HTDI/512M,DDR3M in crossfire combo with the Build-in GPU
HDD: Samsung Spinpoint P80, 160 GB, 7200 (dont need a realy big hdd, got on TB on my main pc)
RAM: Kingston KVR667D2E5K2/2G, 2048 MB
WiFi: Asus WL-138G v2

Have not yet chosen a tv tuner because i dont know wich one to get for digital tv from casema in holland....
Also have not yet made up my mind about a mouse/keyboard, any suggestions are welcome

Cheers!
