    First HTPC, need some comments/suggestions on my build

    I'm currently planning a Vista Home Premium HTPC w/ PVR function. Is there anything else I need? I'm basically salvaging some of my old parts from my PC into a HTPC.

    Case: Silverstone GD01B-MXR
    CPU: AMD Opteron 185 (S939)
    Mobo: Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
    GPU: Gigabyte 8600GT (Passive Cool)
    TV-Tuner/Cap: AverMedia AverTV Bravo Hybrid PCIe X1 H788
    PSU: Rosewill RP500 500W or Enermax 620W Liberty
    RAM: 2.5GB RAM
    HD: 1x 120gb (OS) and 1x 400gb (Storage)
    Optical Drive: Lite-On DVD Burner

    I'm thinking of Blu-ray, but at the moment, its still too expensive, so might wait on that.

    Newegg sells a Blu-ray drive for $129 which includes Power DVD.

    How good can it be, if it isn't HD?
