new HTPC Build

[Cr0nJ0b]

I'm starting a new HTPC build. I have some components and plan on buying a few more.

So far i HAVE:

P4Q-E motherboard ATX
C2D E8400
8GB RAM

I'm thinking of adding:
Corsair TX650
nMedia 6000B

I'm not sure at all about graphics cards. the Monitor will be a samsung 57" D8000 and I'll likely have one more small monitor in the cabinet.

thoughts?

I would not put a 650TX into an HTPC unless I already had it just laying around. It's way overkill for that system. Something like this 350W for $43 would work fine (assuming a HTPC-centric GPU).

As for the GPU, if you're not playing games, something small and quiet like the 6450 will be fine.
