    Hi CypherMK

    Are you going to do some gaming, Sapphire Ultimate HD 6570 1GB DDR3 seems overkill when you could add i3 2105 HD3000 graphics with appropriate motherboard to run any high dif content.

    Just my thoughts, and Win7 32bit is fine, in fact there does not seem to be a major rush to develop 64bit programs even now.

    The reason I want to buy a separate graphics card, Is that the I3 has a 23.976 hz bug. And the performance of the 6570 should be the best at the moment. Based on reviews and hqv benchmarks. The And I don't mind a bit of overkill ;)

    :D

    Hi again,

    Yep, the only benefit to using x64 OS is the ability to use extra memory.

    Ok, I did more research.

    In my "server", I want to place this PSU: Seasonic M12II 620W (Quality, silent, 9 sata power)

    I found a big flaw in my HTPC setup. The motherboard (Asus P8H61-M EVO (rev. 3.0)) does not have firewire, which I need to watch TV with my Floppy DTV. So I have to find another one. Any suggestions are welcome ofcourse :)

    Maybe this one: MSI H67MA-E45 (B3)

    Or: Asus P8H67-M EVO
