Asus P5E-VM HDMI good for hidef HTPC?

I want to build a new home theater PC to connect to the hdtv.

I'm gathering the parts and so far I have below, most from newegg
- Cooler master Elite case
- Crucial Ballistix 2GB DDR2-800
- Corsair 500W Power supply
- DVD and blu-ray drive

I have an extra C2D laying around (E6600)

I need
- Harddrive (big)
- Motherboard
- ??

Newegg is selling P5E-VM with HDMI for $135 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131237

is it good or should I go with AMD route, Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H 690G HDMI ($75)
