Hey guys was wondering if i could get some feedback on two builds im considering doing.

First is my HTPC I've decided to go with

Case: Silverstone ML03 Black Slim HTPC Case
Motherboard: ASRock H77M Motherboard
Power Supply: Antec VP450P 450W Power Supply
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3
Processor: Intel Celeron G540
HDD: Intel 330 Series 60GB SSD
Optical Drive: LG CH12LS28 12X BD-R Blu-ray DVD Combo Drive

Total Cost + Delivery: $472

I want this to be able to

1. Play back all my 1080 ripped media (Movie's and TV Show's)
2. Launch Emulators (Like PS1, Wii, Atari ECT)
4. Playback Blu-ray with ease
5. Connect to my receiver

Now here is the list for my server

Case: BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX Case White
Power Supply: Thermaltake Litepower 500W
Processor: Intel Celeron G540
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H61MA-D3V Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill F3-10600CL9D-4GBNT 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3
Add-On Card: Sunix 4 Port Internal SATA Connector PCI Card
HDD: Western Digital WD Red 3TB WD30EFRX
Server Software: unRaid Server + 4GB USB Preconfigured

Total Cost + Delivery: $725

I want this to feed all my media to the 3 planned media centres im building + my 3 laptops and possible

Any thing im looking at that wont work together? and suggestions where i could save some money? Any help is really appreciated.
