I am new to the HTPC and I am hoping some of you might be able to lend some help or advice. I am getting ready to build a new computer for regular purposes and would like to use the one I am replacing as a HTPC. I am looking to mainly play video files off my hard drive. All kinds of different formats. I don't stream much in the form of netflix or anything like that. I would like to be able to display videos from tv streams like watch espn or firstrowsports. I am also hoping to do some game emulation like nintendo and super nintendo. My current setup is below:
Graphics Card: GeForce 8500 GT
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-M52L-S3
Processor: AMD x86 2.6ghz (x86 family 15 model 107 stepping 2 Authentic AMD-2611mhz)
Ram- 4gig
Storage- 200gig internal and could use 1 terabyte external.
Do you think I could make this work for what I want to do? I don't really care about case size and how quiet. If I need to I can buy a few extra parts if I need to upgrade something. Thanks for any help you might provide.
