    Ok, so after lots of input, I have changed direction from AMD to Intel, here is my new build:

    • SILVERSTONE Black Aluminum / 0.8mm SECC Grandia Series GD05B micro-ATX
    • SILVERSTONE Strider Plus ST50F-P 500W ATX 12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Power Supply
    • Silverstone Short Cable Set For Silverstone Strider Series Modular PSU
    • Intel BOXDH67GDB3 LGA 1155 Intel H67 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
    • Intel Core i3-2100T Sandy Bridge 2.5GHz LGA 1155 35W Dual-Core Desktop Processor
    • Crucial M4 CT064M4SSD2 2.5″ 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
    • Western Digital Caviar Green WD20EARS 2TB SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5″ Internal Hard Drive
    • G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM 1600 (PC3 12800) F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL
    • LITE-ON Black 4X Blu-ray Reader SATA Model iHOS104-06
    • Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit
    • SilenX IXP-74-09 120mm Case Fan  (3 of these)
    • AVerMedia AVerTVHD Duet – PCTV Tuner MTVHDDUWB PCI-Express x1 Interface
    • Internal IR Receiver w MCE Remote

    I have switched over to a low power CPU with an Intel MOBO. (I like the intel NIC) 
    I’ve increased my SDD capacity and performance. 
    Switched to the AverMedia and separate IR Receiver.
    Swithced to a modular PSU to minimize cable clutter.

    So, Fire Away!!!  Let me know what you think.

    Thanks,
    Scott
