You may run into an issue with power. With the i3 proc running at full load, the motherboard, two sticks of ram and just one 2.5″ drive, you will be running at the full load of your power brick and you haven’t even added the Ceton tuner or the blu-ray drive.
You could opt for the larger 150W power brick (http://www.mini-box.com/12v-12-5A-AC-DC-Power-Adapter) but you still may come up short on power.You could also try going with either a quiet ATX power supply, lower power CPU or both. I built up (on paper) a system similar to yours with a quad-core 45W AMD proc, 880G based MB, a seasonic S12II power supply, and the Corsair SSD Mikinho suggested for about $825 no tincluding the Ceton. Dunno if this link will work, but here is the wishlist I saved it to: https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.aspx?ID=14087725

Since you liked your 550 so much, why not just get another one. Just got a deal from Newegg for a refurb 550.
