Awesome work! I opted for a video card as well. My integrated graphics weren't cutting it for any game, and even had a few issues with 1080p playback. What are you using this machine mainly for?

Thanks. Its mainly used for streaming 1080 rips from my main computer. Also netflix, music streaming and general internet browsing. Bought the board with the intent of using the integrated graphics but forgot i had this card laying around so I never got to try out the integrated chip.

You're probably better off. Integrated is still crap for everything except web browsing and some video play back. The audio over hdmi is a very nice plus though.
