Tell me what you think and if all this works together. Went with Intel build instead of AMD in case I decided to upgrade CPU in future if needed which the mobo in this build allows for top end. HTPC will not be using Blue Ray, no gaming, no 3D, just basic streaming and downloading videos, basic internet use, downloading video and music files. I will purchase windows 8 as it will only be $69.00 supposedly but will use Ubuntu and xbmc for now. what does everyone think
