Quick HTPC spec check please

[EddScott]

Below is the spec for a HTPC. I have an Intel NUC but for various reasons it won't play nice with my receiver. I have a Silverstone HTPC case to use and I have an external graphics card to go in (again due to issues with my receiver)

Intel Core i3-2120 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail £74.99

ASRock H87M PRO4 Intel H87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard £59.99

Kingston 60GB SSDNow V300 Drive SATA 6Gb/s 3 2.5" (7mm height) Solid State Hard Drive - (SV300S3B7A/60G) **Upgrade Bundle Kit /w Adapter** £49.99

TeamGroup Vulcan GOLD 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (TLYD38G1600HC9DC01) £49.99

**B Grade** BeQuiet Pure Power L8 600W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply - With 120mm Silent Wing Fan Built in £49.99

The one thing I do need is the motherboard to have HDMI and Optical outputs.

Its going to have Win7 and XBMC on it and thats about it. Its going in a Silverstone LC20.

Steveocee - I didn't think it was right.

I've had a look at going down the AMD route which will reduce the bill.
