    I have the urge to tinker again!

    Main uses are for XBMC, Plex server, moderate gaming at 1080p and potentially for Steam in-house streaming.

    Specs:

    - i5-3350
    - ASRock H77 Pro4-M Matx
    - Scythe Shuriken Rev.B Low profile
    - Radeon 6770
    - Samsung EVO 840 120Gb
    - WD Green 1TB
    - TP-Link Wifi card
    - Antec Fusion Black with Earthwatts 430 PSU


    Requirements:

    Case: needs to be smaller then the Antec...currently protrudes from my TV cabinet by approx. 4inchs. Ideally HTPC style, room for a semi-decent GPU and have the option of fitting an internal IR receiver.

    Fans: Quiet!

    GPU: To play at high settings at 1080p...will likely want it for FarCry 4. Support Steam in-house streaming.

    PSU: Quiet, modular and capable of supporting new GPU load.

    Any thoughts???
