Hey bluray... should I just get a new mobo and the A8-3850 instead of a the HIS hd6570?
Maybe i'm going crazy eh?
The A8-3850 looks amazing. But it is still brand new.... and I don't wan't to be the ginea pig for it.

I'm actually parting my HTPC together now based off the A8-3850. Hardest thing for me is finding a mATX case that I like. I dont really want a full sized receiver looking case, but would really like to find a good quality cube case.
Newegg had a great deal on the mobo i got, ASUS F1A75-M PRO FM1, although open box it was 75 bucks. Earlier this week they had the EarthWatts 430 PSU on sale and I picked one of those up as well. Once I find a case I like that isn't to expensive I'll get the rest of the parts and finish the build.
Should be one hell of an HTPC and also able to play a few games on it as well.
