I have been doing research on which way to go (build or buy) for the past two or three weeks. I really want to get the new Intel i3 with the 4000 graphics. So, I picked some components I think will work, but I would really like someone with more experience to tell me if I will have any conflicts with these. I have heard of memory chips, PSUs and other components blocking others. Obviously, I am very new to this. So, any input is appreciated.

If it matters, I'd be in the #6 group - no 3D movies, but lots of 1080p movies stored on a Synology NAS DS412+. I'll be accessing the files over WLAN. Here are the components in my shopping cart as I type:

Crucial 64GB SSD
Kingston Technology HyperX 4 GB Kit (2x2 GB Modules)
Gigabyte LGA 1155 DDR3 1600 Intel H77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Motherboard GA-H77N-WIFI
Antec ISK 300-150 Black Mini-ITX Desktop Computer Case 150 Watt Power Supply
Intel Core i3-3225 Dual-Core Processor 3.3 GHz 3 MB Cache LGA 1155 - BX80637i33225

I don't think the Antec case can take another fan, so I did not include one of those. The total so far is $434. If I bought a pre-built, I was looking at the Zotac ID83, but I can't find prices on that yet. So, I don't know how much I'm saving. But, if there are not issues with this combination of components, I'm gonna move forward with these and be happy.

Please let me know if I have forgotten any components in the list. One thing I still have to solve for is a BluRay Drive to rip my movies. I will either buy an external one and plug it up to my laptop or see if it makes sense to include a drive in this build. If you have thoughts on which would be the best route, I'm open to that as well.

Great forum and great thread!

Thanks for all the useful information. I would not be this far along without you.
