im sure these get old, but the last PC i built was a mid-level gaming rig, in the core2duo days - so HTPC with the newer stuff is a bit confusing for me.
purpose:
playing movies via HDMI (SD to 1080P) from an external HDD
emulation (NES, SNES, up to PSX/Dreamcast perhaps)
no "real" gaming
no 3D
fairly simple requirements i think. so, on to the parts...
Case: Xion micro-ATX w/ 300w PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811208054
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-D3H http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FU829ZQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
CPU: AMD A6-6400K http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CPLGFM4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
RAM: Mushkin 2x2GB DDR3 1600 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226285
HD: Sandisk 64GB SSD http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007ZWLRSU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2WTVCOLVN15GP
thoughts? concerns? i planned on getting everything but the ram and case from amazon as they seem to have the best prices.
i appreciate any and all input!
