Hello and welcome to the forum

What are the issue your getting as for a HTPC you dont need a hugely powerful pc.

Do you know the specs of the pc, ie what model cpu? AMD or Intel?

Can you post some pics of your system as the motherboard might be unique for that case.

Which Phenom x 3 is it? it shoudl be 8*** (where the stars are numbers.

)

Am2/AM2+ anyway..

There motherboards are hard to get hold of new and won't give you much performance increase..

SATAII SSD maybe?
