Hey guys, I'm planning to build my first HTPC and can't decide on a config.
Main purpose would be playing all different kind of video files and music. Also my girlfriend would like to have the option to play some games like Wow, Reckoning and so on. Maybe I will want to play some egoshooters as well. I want to spend as less as necessary so it became pretty hard to decide on one config. A Blu-ray drive, a seperate Cpu cooler and a SSD will be bought later and I still got a hard drive I could use.
I would like to know if I should wait for ivy bridge or go with one of the configs I made. Would be nice if you could help me decide on a config and/or give suggestions for optimizing.
Config 1:

Config 2

Config 3

Thanks in advance.
