I want to build a PC with the following features:
- mini-ITX platform
- Intel processor
- on-board GPU (can do h.264 decoding)
- DDR2/3 RAM
- plays 1080p mkv
- plays DirectX 10 games at high res
- I/O ports (Firewire, eSata, SPDIF, GbLan, USB)
- HDMI (w audio), DVI, VGA
- HDD and DVD burner
- Windows 7

Any suggestions? Budget below Rm1000 possible?

Yeah. If you just want to use it as HTPC, probably you need around 800-1500. But if you want to be able to play new games at high resolution, probably you need to top up another 1000.
