Hi does anyone have this card:rolleyes:, will it be any good for my HTPC build?

i3 560
Zotac WiFi Mobo
1TB Western Digital HDD
OCZ 60GB Vertex 2 SSD
OCZ Platinum 1333Mhz 4GB
OCZ 600w PSU
LG Blu Ray RW

:D I like OCZ, can you tell!!
 
if your just doing media stuff, then itll be overpowered, plus some htpc cases are cramped. if your not gonna game, id say go for a midrange, passive gfx card :)
 
I will be gaming a little, i only play COD, and L4D2, i wasnt really a gamer but
I want it basically to get into PC gaming....
 
I bought a ATI single slot 5750 for my HTPC, can't hear it and i was shocked at how could L4D2 ran on it (and thats on a 1080p 100" projector), i suppose if i had the room (in the HTPC) i might have gone for a better card, but for the amount of gaming i do on the HTPC i'm pleased with the 5750.
