Here is what I have old HP Intel Q6600 quad core, 4 gigs ram with tv tuner and media center remote as my htpc. Also just replaced the geforce 8400 with a radeon hd 6670. But over the next year I want to replace everthing and this is what I plan on ending up with AMD A10 5800K, 8GB ram, faster sata 6 hdd or possible ssd, reuse tv tuner and remote, reuse the 6670 and run hybrid crossfire. What are your thoughts? No this will be 80% htpc and 15% regular pc work internet and that stuff and maybe a bit of light gaming if my wife would get back in to WoW. Is this an overkill htpc and too light for gaming? Or is this a happy medium? Thoughts or advice? Thanks. Oh and Windows 7 or 8?

Grrr why did you have to be the voice of reason? My wife saw the post and now I am only allowed to replace the case and psu.... lol thank you wolf and I do have to admit you are correct. Now that I am saving money on the htpc maybe I can talk her in to the new tv I want...:)
