Hi I am thinking of building a HTPC. I currently run a gaming rig with 780 sli.

Should I pull one of the 780 and use for HTPC or should I buy a new card, If so what GPU is good for HTPC? I mean this will be hooked up to my 100 inch projector screen and full 5.1 surround thru high end pre amp and amp.

Depending on the CPU I'm pretty sure the onboard GPU can handle the needs of a HTPC. Just need to buy a good MB with 5.1 (maybe opitcal out). As long as you have no plans on gaming. IT doesn't matter if your projector screen is 1000 inches all that matters really is the output which is 1080p (at hope a least) and maybe if the CPU is fast enough to decode the video formats that you which to view.
