I think I'm finally going to go ahead and build a HTPC, after posting here a couple times asking for advice, I think this will be my final build specs, but want to run it by all the experts here and let me know if I'm overlooking anything. This will mainly be used as a media jukebox and some gaming, I'll be using my STB for TV, so no need for a tuner.
Thanks for looking
