Basically i'd spec'd up a HTPC and was about to order when I suddenly thought I will want to play games on it...
Now i'm left thinking I need to get myself a decent graphics card for this, and a different motherboard...
I want to put the audio over HDMI and I've looked about and was looking at something like this:
Asus 9500GT OC 512MB DDR3 DVI VGA HDMI HDCP PCI-E Graphics Card - Ebuyer
Now it says:
Can anyone help me out and suggest me a good AM2 board that'll allow me to get audio + video out on hdmi and support 1066MHz memory?
Or maybe advise me on a better graphics card and mobo for my HTPC/Gaming combo?
£200 ish would be ideal for both
Will be playing the likes of WoW and Sims3, nothing too heavy.
I've been looking around and i'm well out of touch with prices and the technology.
I will be wanting to do all over the HDMI cable to my TV, both video and audio.
Any help here would be amazing.
I can answer any questions you might need to help, cheers!

Now it says:
To enable HDMI audio out function, a motherboard with internal S/PDIF header and the correct connection of S/PDIF cable with graphics card and motherboard are needed.
