Would this make a good HTPC- just trying to get into this and not sure how good of a desktop I need. I also need something that I can import all my old miniDV tape/ home movies from years ago so I guess I need a slot for a SDI or component card.

I do see a slot below the GPU.
Oh here's a link that shows the I/O slots.

(Im not familiar w/ your usage, sorry I cant help. it looks like it should be fine for an SDI, assuming its fan is pointing downwards)

Edit: it looks like 4400 ram, the lowest it can go?

You can have similar 4060 new
why would you want a 4060 instead of a 3070?
The 4060 barely, and I mean barely, beats a 3060.
The 4000 series cards were a huge disappointment. Other than low power consumption they're not worth the upgrade

Do you plan to do gaming on the HTPC or just consume media?

If you're just using it for media, an all in one solution utilizing a full desktop PC isn't very efficient these days. Consider that there are $20 media boxes and most TVs have built in hardware capable of decoding full 4K while consuming far less power than this system will.

Instead, I'd opt for a server/client setup, especially if you're talking about hosting your own media.

One of those mini PCs with a large external hard drive and a $15 composite to USB capture cable would get the job done without running up your power bill.

If you did want to use a desktop, you'd still have to get a larger secondary mechanical drive for your media. Putting it all on the SSD will shorten its lifespan significantly. Also, don't forget to make backups or opt for a cloud service.

I mistyped it. I meant psu. The other user said it's 800w. Should be enough for 9800 gre

3070 is a better card than the 4060.
