How good would this computer be as an HTPC?
Intel Sandy Bridge i7 2600 @ 3.4GHz (Turbo boost @ 3.8GHz) stock HSF
ASUS P8H67 M-Pro Motherboard
8GB (4x2GB) 1333MHz DDR3 Ram
Asus Nvidia GT530 2GB
Seagate 1TB HDD w/ Windows Home Pro 64bit installed
330w Power Supply
I'd like to watch at 1080p on a ~50in TV. I can change a few components as needed. Thinking a higher end sound card would probably be all I'd need.
Also have an 8600gt, if for some reason that card may be better.
TV has a VGA input.
