Hello! I am looking to build an HTPC for around $400 - $550. I would be using it for watching movies & for emulation. I would like to take advantage of any black friday or cyber monday deals. Here is my current plan for my setup: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/rZLJRB

Any suggestions for changes? Also, do I need to add a video card?

That system will be fine for what you want; might even be a bit overkill. I'm running an older AMD chip (A6-3500) without an additional video card and play N64 games all the time.
