So I really want to make this build. Here are the other parts I've selected for it.
HD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6822148697 $59.99
Ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6820134751 $15.99

As a HTPC, I'm looking to basically use XBMC, Hulu, and be able to do retro gaming (n64 and below). I also want to be able to play 1080p movies (which I assume can be done from the other thread's q and a section).
Do you think this build would get the job done? I didnt choose a SSD mainly because I wanted the extra storage and am being cheap. I only did the 2gb ram because I'm wanting to be cheap as well and figured if it isn't enouch I can always buy another stick.
What do you think?
