I would go with at least an H67 not the H61. Far better chipset. Just in case you ever want to overclock

This "ASRock H77M LGA 1155 Intel H77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard" is your best option. You'll have all the options below-

Front USB 3.0 and HDMI 1.4a.....and CIR header

>Alienware X51- do it all HTPC
>Simplify XBMC configurations
>HOW-TO Bitstreaming using XBMC
I refused to watch movie without bitstreaming HD audio!
