I already have the Antec P180 mini hence the microATX mobo.
So how does this look? The total comes to $540.
Should I get a cheaper CPU and invest in a cheap GPU? Again no gaming or editing would be done on this, just HD video watching.
Thanks!

Looks fine to me. There is no need to get a dedicated GPU if you're not doing any gaming or GPU apps. If you want 3d blu-ray you would need to invest in a dedicated GPU but that's about it.
