hi all, i've decided i'd like a little htpc to go under my tv. i'd like to link it to my pc monitor as well, which is a few meters away.

Ideally i'd like it to have hdmi for both video and audio. Would i connect from the htpc to my AMP and then from the amp to the tv??

so any way, i need a case, mobo, gfx and psu. Mobo must be able to take ddr2 and a q6600 though seeing as i have those available. i'll also need a suitable cpu cooler.

Input greatly appreciated as i've never really ventured into this field and am somewhat at a loss.

PS it could be cool if the card could do a bit of gaming as well.
 
what issues might i have if i have the pc at my desk and want to also play games from it? i.e sound based issues? can i have speakers coming from the pc as well, positioned at my desk for pc games?
