Approximate Purchase Date: soon, probably this week or next
Budget Range: $400 ish; the lower the better but I don't have a concrete cap.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: HTPC. i'm going to be playing movies on this and also recording 1080p content from time to time using Hauppage HD PVR (uses graphics hardware to encode)
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, ram, case (though i understand most low end cases with power supplies are almost the same cost as most low end power supplies so a case can also be on the list, especially those that have power supplies included)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: amazon.com (I have Prime), newegg.com is ok too
Country of Origin: US
Parts Preferences: none, would like a small form factor for a case though if buying new one.
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe. (with A8 suggestions)
Monitor Resolution: 1920X1080 1080p
Additional Comments: I'd like this to be fairly quiet. so a fanless graphics card probably is needed
