New Build Coming: What Else Do I Need?

Thread Starter 
I finally sprung for parts for a new computer and will be my first htpc. I think I've got all the hardware I need except a remote and a tuner card (not sure how useful a tuner card is since I have satellite)

My question is what software I need. I will install 64bit Windows 7. I am thinking of getting TMT for bluray and AnyDVD for Bluray ripping. Anything else I need? Codecs?

For starters that's about all you need for BD playback. I would get everything running stable before starting to use different codec's on the system, you may not need any.
How do you plan to rip, ISO's or to folder? If ISO's you would also need VirtualClone Drive which is free from Slysoft.
