I fancy building a HTPC that can be used for a bit of 1080p gaming if i fancy it. I'll have a gtx970 spare when my 1080 turns up so how does this look? This will be my first 100% built system. Any advise would be great. Thanks :)

Any other suggestions on the motherboard and cpu?
 
All looks good , you could probably get away with an i-3 cpu at 1080p or the 6400, personally would go for a 240gb ssd. A cheaper case will accomadate but its personal choice.

The 6100 I-3 would be my choice as its is just as quick as the 6400 I-5 at 1080p. Mite be worh considering 16gb of ram as its so cheap at the moment and u only have to ram slots on your motherboard.
