SFF build sanity check pls

[sippm]

Hi all,

I need to have an HTPC capable of decent gaming but nothing spectacular gaming by end of this week. So, I'm forced to rush a build w/out full research and I'm not up to speed on sandy bridge.

The case is non-negotiable and fits perfect in my media center. I already own the video card and purchased b/c of gaming abilities, 1.4a HDMI and as-far-as-i-know nearly flawless bitstreaming. It will connect to a Denon 791 and a 3d TV, and be a primary music device over 7MC as well, and I'm trying to keep everything HDMI 1.4 for future proof.

The only other card it will house is a Ceton.

I have an SSD already for OS and a few apps (2nd gen Intel) which I will put in, but some day I'd like to replace with a SATA6. All other data is networked over GigE.

I'm trying to keep everything "mid-range". I will never OC and am trying to keep it running cool/quiet.

Any advice or comments would be much appreciated, thank you.

Thank you!!!

Looks decent.
Only suggestion would be to get a faster, 1333Mhz RAM.

Also you should think about PW-IO4H515 IO ports for the case. That will add USB3 to your front panel. But I think it is not yet available.

I agree with getting the 1333 RAM. The rest of the build looks real good.

Thanks all. I'll upgrade the RAM speed.

frozencpu has the I/O ports. I purchased the USB3 ones from them.
