Without telling us what content you will be consuming on it, we cannot help you.

Cheers for reply.

I will be watching 720/1080 and 3D content that is stored on my NAS.

I have a lower spec i3 running Win8.1 and the latest release of XBMC and it runs flawlessly on all media up to and including 3D BD. Your set up is more tha adequate.
Hope this helps

Also long as the 3D content isn't MVC 3D (which XBMC doesn't play), then you'll be fine.

Great, I think I will order parts in the next week or so. Then I have to figure out XBMC and all the addons including the ones we can't talk about on forum
