Any thoughts on this? Should be able to play anything I throw at it I guess? And I won't need to upgrade for a loong time?

Adding a i3 cpu and 4gig ram + a ssd and I am good to go yes?


What say you?

Since my Atom/Ion board can play anything I can throw at it, and I even run VirtualBox with Windows XP sometimes on it.. I think it should be enough.

I'd say that's a gamer mobo.. for an HTPC I think it's totally overkill.

mobo is superb, but you'll need to add case, psu, fans, storage drive, windows, better video card for 3d stuff, etc.
