Why I write that is my old C2D (core2duo) laptop with the Intel 4500MHD GMA would do 1080p with no effort. You are many generations above that so why overclock?
500 Watts looks to be way beyond what you listed for power.

Hey all, I want to build a mini-ITX PC for a software router / WAP combo and want to make sure I'm on the right track as far as parts go since I've never done a mini-ITX build before.
I don't plan on doing any over-clocking and this unit will only ever be using the CPU as a GPU since I'll be building a proper HTPC if the need arises.
Here's what I have so far:

Motherboard: http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Wi-Fi-Bluetooth-Motherboard-GA-H97N-WIFI/dp/B00KATHCD4
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117501
SSD for intake: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147372

All advice/suggestions/anecdotes are greatly appreciated.
