I am in the process of trying to put together a component list for a HTPC/Gaming PC. I wanted to use the AMD FX-6300 processor, but it doesn't seem like there are a lot of options in terms of small form factor motherboards or cases that will be compatible with this processor. I am trying to keep my budget under $700 if at all possible. If anyone could throw together some suggested builds for me I would greatly appreciate the help!

Here is a build I threw together...not sure about how good the mobo and processor are for a mid range pc. I intend to use this a lot for emulation, MMO's, and other gaming, as well as a streaming media center hooked up to my 50" flat screen plasma running at 1080p. Thoughts and suggestions for improvement or areas to save $$ would be much appreciated!
