First thanks for the folks who helped me in choosing the component.

Finally get the HTPC all tuned out.Here is the final spec:
A10 6800K
Thermalright AXP-100
Asrock A85X Extreme 4-M
GSKill RipjawX 2133 8GB
Seagate 1TB
LiteON DVD
Silverstone SG02-F
Antec Green 380W
After a few days of tweaking it is able to achieve 4.6GHz stable on air. The graphic core runs at 1013MHz. The RAM runs at GSKill's XMP profile speed. The overall performance is more than adquete for a living room HTPC. That is to say, for playing HD videos and some old games.
I didn't expect the APU to be so hot. With the stock little cooler it idles ~47C and goes over 80 under load. That is in stock speed settings. I have to invest in an AXP-100 to keep it cool and quiet.(The stock cooler noise is horrible). I did overclocked the CPU to 4.6 to try its limit. Even with AXP-100 it can't keep the load temp below 65 when operating in 4.6GHz. Consider there is little performance increase from stock settings to 4.6GHz I return to default. In the end I kinda regretted getting the 6800K. Since the AMD K series is advertised as overclockable CPU. It will take a good liquid cooling solution to do any serious overclocking. A 6700 should work just fine Also, it seems a i3 + discrete GPU is a better idea after all. The cost is about the same, but the performance will be better. There will also be less concern of overheating problem.I haven't built an AMD system since the good old days of AthlonXP. Overall I am not impressed with the APU system. AMD could have done a better job than this.
Anyway, it is all done and now sitting happily behind my TV. Played L4D2 for a brief moment. Man, steam feels good in the "big picture" mode.
And here are the pics!
