Hi there,
I'm hoping to build my first HTPC and am looking for some reassurance that I'm heading in the right direction components wise. Main use will be watching full HD uncompressed MKVs with some DTS-HD and Dolby True HD soundtracks. It will be connected to my AV receiver via HDMI.
Motherboard: A78M-E35 AMD MSI FM2 Micro ATX Motherboard Link
CPU: AMD A4 6320 + HD8370D, 65w, FM2, 1mb cache, 4000mhz Link
RAM: Corsair Memory XMS3 2GB DDR3 1333 Mhz CAS 9 Dual Channel Desktop X2 Link
Power Supply: ScanFX 500W Power Suppy Black with 120mm Quiet Fan ATX Link
Case: Cooltek G3 Home Theater PC Chassis (because I like the look of it and plenty of room for more HDDs) Link
I've already got a 2TB seagate drive with my movies on and a 320Gb 2.5" drive for the operating system (Ubuntu to start and then possibly Win 7 as I want to add a BD drive to rip straight to library).
Many thanks
