Would this be a good Home Theatre gaming computer?

    dunno, that case includes a power supply but I'm usually wary of PSU included in cases...

    Also, unless you really really really need 16 GB of ram, take only 8 as that's still overkill for a HTPC and console-like gaming rig. And again, you don't need any heatsink on that ram (naked ram should be cheaper), and heatsinks may be annoying in tight quarters like that case.

    Yeah I couldn't make up my mind on which colour I liked better. I do like the samsung low profile RAM, but it's currently out of stock in newegg.ca

    no, not low profile, i mean fully naked, like this.
    It's not that much cheaper though.

    Newegg.com - SAMSUNG 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model MV-3V4G3D/US
    Is what I was referring to. It's low profile, fully naked, very overclockable, and 98% of reviewers gave it 5/5 eggs.

    it's now in stock.:)
    Although I doubt you want to overclock ram in a HTPC, and more than 1600 MHz it's more or less useless even for a normal rig if you use a socket 1155 CPU.

    It's in stock at newegg.com, but it's not even listed at newegg.ca
