your trying to power a 100W TDP APU using a 65W PSU!!
dont do that!!
either drop to the 65W TDP A6-3500 APU and use the ANTEC ISK300-65 htpc case
or buy the ANTEC ISK300-150 htpc case + A6-3650 APU
or get the ANTEC ISK300-65 htpc case + 135W power brick + A6-3650 APU

Well I own a 6450 GPU and the 3500 .....
1080P movies look the same to my eye!

It just mean that you get quicker XBMC UI and make your other tasks (video transcode, ripping, etc) done faster.......

Thank you! That it works was what I wanted to hear... :-) Maybe I find a 135W brick for a reasonable price later... but the 120W will do first.

XBMC UI won't increase.... it will be the same....
The A8-3850 will be great with games.....
I believe the A6-3500 will be awesome with 3D.... I don't have a 3D tv so I can not test......
my homeboy hook is buying TWO 300-65.....
and my other homeboy here in town ..... guess what.... I am going to build him one..... selling his Zotac now...
he was very impressed...... he thinks I am a geek...

YES, YES, YES, YES!!!!
My case finally arrived at my retailer today. Gonne pick everything up in a couple of minutes. Tonight I am going to plug everything together and set it up... Hope everything works as expected :-) I already warned my girlfriend about it... she said she will be moving out for two weeks...
@beer
I am not planning on gaming with the HTPC I have my PS3 for this...
I do not own a 3D-TV either yet, but there will come one some day. I just wanted to be on the save side regarding processing/graphic power. And since it didn't cost me much more I thought why not go for the better one... :-)
