Hi all,
I am planning to build an HTPC in the near future and I am doing some research on the hardware components I will be using. I do not know whether these is anyone who can recommend whethere these components will be ideal for an HTPC that will be used also for gaming (even it is not a top priority). I am also planning to use this PC to use PVR and I expect good performance for this PC. Therefore I would like the ability to record and do other things without the PC slowing down.

CPU : AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+
Motherbaord : MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum nForce4 Ultra (Socket 939) PCI-Express
Hard-Disk : Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 10 NCQ 300GB SATA-II 16MB cache
Video Card : Sapphire ATI Radeon X1300 512MB DDR2 AVIVO TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express)
PSU : 600W - EzCool 12cm Fan ATX PSU
1GB DDR2

The only thing I do not know is about the tuner card. I would like a DVB-T tuner card.

I am also planning to connect this PC with a plasma screen. I was thinking of buying an LG 42 inch with a resolution of 852 * 480. It is supposed to be HD ready.

Thanks.

I hate to redirect you. But, here is a place that will help you out: http://htpcnews.com/forums/index.php?showforum=21

When evolution selects its agents, it does so at a cost, makes demands in exchange for singularity, and you may be asked to do something against your very nature. This force, evolution, is not sentimental. Like the Earth itself, it knows only the hard facts of life's struggle with death. All you can do is hope and trust that when you have served its needs faithfully, there may still remain some glimmer of the life you once knew.
