So this is my very first attempt at building any sort of pc so be gentle! I want a htpc to go behind my tv and I have chosen the following components:

CPU:AMD A-Series A4 3400 Dual-Core Processor
HD:Western Digital 2TB SATA
MB:AsRock A75M-ITX Motherboard
RAM:Corsair CMV4GX3M2A1333C9 2 x 2GB DDR3
Case:CiT Mini ITX Case with 300W PSU


I want this to be able to easily handle HD files and stream from the net and will probably run XBMC. How are my selections? I think they are powerful enough and compatible? My budget is relativity flexible but at the same time I dont want to spend more than I have to. Any help appreciated!

What's the graphics card/GPU?

Edit, I see "this new chip combines up-to four Phenom II-type CPU cores and a low-end Radeon HD 5500-like GPU on one bit of silicon"
