@jassy, keep both config same. no need change. but i am skeptical about the board. if its good enough.
also for the AMD rig, Phenom II X4 965 will do good.

Gigabyte GA P55M UD2 @ 6.4k looks good in no CF options..
Gigabyte GA P55M UD2 is a great ocer and performer but are you sure of the price you mentioned...
found Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD4P @ 11.5k to be a nice high end p55 performer..

Jas the ud2 is listed in lynx india as 6.6k. Asked my dealer and he said it to be around 6.4k. The board is definitely around that price.
Talking about AVR'S , you can list the denon avr 1611 and 1911 as mid range options. Even the onkyo sr608 is good. For high end avr's denon's 2311 is good and you can pick any model pricewise cause all are good and have five star ratings in whathifi.

Jas the setup will comprise of an avr , an htpc , a speaker set and of course a large display.
The avr will be sort of a media hub. It consists of a master hdmi and several other hdmi ports. The display will be connected to the master port so the avr upscales and feeds video signals to the display.
On the remaining hdmi ports, one can hook an htpc, portable media players, game consoles , settop boxes etc. These work as feeding the inputs to the avr and the output is channelled to the master hdmi and onto the display. Now where the avr shines is its ability to decode muliple audio and use high end speakers for proper amplification which is not possible with only an htpc.
The avr has tuners. preamps and power amps to effectively amplify the audio signals for that immersive experience. The decoders can decode digital audio formats such as dts.
Refer this and in the meantime i'll post the speaker list.

Hi Jas, 1st of all belated happy birth day. Hope you to be continuing the fantastic performance in Digit forum and may you be the "Lord of Data" of all the other tech forums in future.
Regarding your Xigmatek product query, in Indian market they have cabinet, PSU of different ranges, Cooling Fans and fan controllers. Please visit to this link to have the list of item available.
Now one generic suggestion for you. While suggesting mid or lower mid range PCs try to make it Jack of all treads. It will offer the user some excellent add on features.
For example in your Mid range HTPC section, the graphics card suggested in HD 5450. It cannot perform anything other than HTPC purpose. The only thing is it is having Dx11. Now in a HTPC setup, DX11 support does not going to matter. So we can change it to XFX HD 4650 1 GB @ 3.3K or ASUS HD 4670 1 GB @ 3.9K. This card will do their HTPC job fine and also provide some firepower for gaming.
So the user can have the added benefit of casual gaming.
Hope this suggestion will help you.
