I would also warn about noise. CPU, GPU, PSU and case fan noise is very noticeable when watching movies or whatever. I soundproofed my case, purchased a fanless Seasonic PSU, upgraded the case fans, and lowered my EVGA GT 430 GPU minimum fan speed with a GPU BIOS modding utility to reduce noise. I upgraded the old hard drive, which you could also hear grinding away, to a SSD. My next upgrade will be a fanless CPU and motherboard that has HDMI out.
