[QUOTE="moab, post: 406563, member: 73157"] Nice set up. IMHO processor is less important than video card. So go with the cheaper CPU listed. Although if you have the $$$ and are serious gamer then go with the better one but not necessary for normal use. Your fast 4GB RAM is good. Your video card should handle all of the heavy graphic processing. What type of TV are you using? Will you be running at full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution. I have a similar usage to your requirements. I ran into some WAF issues but I worked around that by having the cable TV split to both the PC capture card and the TV built in tuner. The wife uses the TV remote for "no brainer TV". I use the PC for TV because of the nice TiVO/PVR features. Being able to pause live TV to get the phone/doorl is a huge plus. I finally figured out my TV guide issues. I use IPTV like you but from a web browser. I actually have quick keys on my wireless keyboard which launch netflix, hulu etc. I use the MCE remote for MediaPortal. I have not played with BluRay yet but that will be my next purchase. I actually burn all my regular DVDs to the HDD as I can't stand getting them scratched up. [/QUOTE]
