I've currently got a Athlon 64 3200+ on a 6150/430 board that is running just fine for me but I've decided I'd like to convert it to a HTPC that would have one SDTV and two HDTV tuners and likely a blu-ray drive. My number one concern for this is cost as the reason I'm doing it is to get rid of my two TiVos and Comcast HD DVR. I've picked out the following components and I'd like some input on whether what I've selected would be capable of handling everything I want to throw at it. I won't be doing any gaming on this system and, while it's not completely necessary, I would like to have a non-HDMI digital audio output for sound. Basically what I'm asking is, would this system be able to do one SDTV and two HDTV recordings while simultaneously playing back a BD?
Athlon X2 4800+ (stock HSF)
GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H
Ballistix 2GB DDR2 800
Other components I would use:
X-QPack
430W Antec PSU (don't remember which one)
TIA
