Sounds good i get plenty of use out of my HTPC. Only thing i would change is going for a smaller case kinda like this one:

this is pretty much the smallest case that you can squeeze a full sized board/PS into, it ALOT like my current sig rig's case. of course this is more of a preference thing though

It'll make a great HTPC and a good gaming rig aswell. But if you decide to game at 1080p I'm not sure if the 9600GT will be able to make out all the games.
