Hows this look for a cheap HTPC?

[MeatLoaf]

Thinking of these parts for a cheapy HTPC



Ive included a cheapy GFX card because im sure iv been told that Sandybridge based CPUs have trouble with BluRay playback skipping frames.

I already have the RAM ( Geil 1600Mhz stuff ), a hard drive and the optical drive. Ive also got the TV card sorted.

I'll be swapping out the cheapo PSU and putting in a 500W Tagan i have in my parts box.

Does it all look ok?

Llano option. The IGP is much better and saves you paying out on a dedicated GPU. The mobo has HDMI onbaord too

Yup - go for Llano. I have the little A4 and it copes with HD no problem at all. Excellent choice for a media PC.
