HTPC for casual gaming

[Geotheo70]

Im trying to come together with the parts for my PC. To tell you the truth, after hearing about the Steam Box, I wanted to see if I could come up with a PC that could do just as well as the Steam Box. Keep in mind that I am not going to be using this for Crysis 3 highest settings, only for more casual games such as strategy games. Do you think that these parts are good for use in what I want it to do?

Im using Windows 7 as my OS. I decided not to go Windows 8 because of all the talk against it. Do these specs work together and even more importantly, is there possibility for upgrading (Im really looking into water cooling for later)?

This will run casual games just fine but I would get the 5800K. As in future upgrades, AMD is going to continue with the FM2 socket for a while and release new APU's. The rest of your parts work out.

I was thinking of going for the 5800K as well, but I have a problem with it. I see that it requires more power than the 5700K (at least I think?) and I plan to crossfire with a regular graphics card (7760? Im not sure which one it was, but they did say you could crossfire the APU with an AMD card). Im wondering if I would end up not having enough power. Any advice?

EDIT: Either that or the AMD Dual Graphics. That looked really appealing.
