Is the integrated GF9400 powerful enuf to play 3D games with high graphic setting?

I thought so. Thanks for the info. So this one definitely not for me.

Don't buy capalang power supply even the rated watt is silly high. Power supply very important. No matter how good your other stuff is if you neglect this one you can have a lot of uknown problem especially with a powerful GPU on board.

Power supply bundled with normal chassis is a big no no for powerful GPU. The power drop like crap when under load. Its like a yammy amp

U need Marantz type power supply....very stable wattage

I spoke figuratively la bro

What I meant is get a good branded power supply that won't drop the wattage under full load....just like Marantz AVR

Using graphic card with HDMI out no need sound card anymore?

That's cool. Only ATI card can do that or nvidia also can. I am more of a nvidia fan.

so basically in term of hd audio streaming....no htpc hardware can do what a standalone bdp can do. then have to wait first la like this.
