Do your math and decide on the size of hard drive space that you need. You'll never have enough of hard drive space once you start doing serious downloads and high resolution back-ups of your DVD/HD DVD/BD collection.
Kung maselan ka sa sound, you should buy a good soundcard (Onkyo, Azuntech etc.) and connect your PC to an amplifier through SPDIF. Otherwise, try the output quality of your on-board audio first. Passable na yung quality ng mga bagong on-board sound (compared to previous gens).
Personally, I'd give more priority on the quality of video by buying the best video card and monitor combination I can afford. I think ATI is more appropriate for HTPC applications, nonetheless your Nvidia card should suffice.
You might want to consider combination HD-DVD/BD drives.
