Hey folks,
I had put together a HTPC parts list previously, but didnt have the cash on hand to put it together. Set a side a little bit to make a new build and I'm ready to order the parts. In the meantime suppliers have changed their stock so I re-evaluated my build. Here's what I'm planning:
CHASSIS: $260
Moneual Black Aluminum MonCaso 320B Micro ATX Media Center / HTPC Case
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.asp...6811280021
MOTHERBOARD: $80
ASUS F1A55-M/CSM FM1 AMD A55 (Hudson D2) HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.asp...6813131797
MEMORY: $55
G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-1866C9D-8GAB
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.asp...6820231550
CPU/GPU: $110
AMD A8-3870K Unlocked Llano 3.0GHz Socket FM1 100W Quad-Core Desktop APU (CPU + GPU) with DirectX 11 Graphic AMD Radeon HD 6550D AD3870WNGXBOX
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.asp...6819106001
BD DRIVE: $60
ASUS Black 12X BD-ROM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA Internal Blu-ray Drive Model BC-12B1ST/BLK/B/AS - OEM
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.asp...6827135247
HD (OS): $60
Mushkin Enhanced Chronos MKNSSDCR60GB 2.5" 60GB SATA III Asynchronous MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.asp...6820226247
HD (STORAGE): $120
Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.asp...6822148834
I'm looking at these two power supplies:
POWER SUPPLY: $35
Rosewill Stallion Series RD450-2-DB 450W ATX V2.2 Power Supply
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.asp...6817182022
POWER SUPPLY: $60
COOLER MASTER GX 450W RS450-ACAAD3-US 450W ATX12V v2.31 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.asp...6817171060
I know 450W is over what I need, but I'm leaving a little room for adding in another HD or two, and a 4 channel tv card in the future.
Also, this was the original CPU cooler I was planning to get:
CPU COOLER: $35
Scythe SCSK-1100 100mm Shuriken Rev. B 3 Heat Pipes CPU Cooler
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.asp...6835185097
However, it's no longer in stock. Anyone have any suggestions for a suitable alternative (preferably available in Canada)?
Thoughts and advice welcome!
Cheers,
Steven
