Hi everyone - I've been following this and other threads for a while on this forum but this is my first post.
I'm building a HTPC for my parents in an attempt to get them off of cable - the goal is:
Using a combination of the OP suggestions and what I've seen from others I came to the following conclusion:
OS Win 7 64 Ultimate
SDD Crucial M4 64Gb (already bought)
CPU A8-3850
MOBO ASRock A75
PSU Antec NEO ECO 400C 400W
CASE SilverStone
RAM Kingston 1866 2 X 4gb
Cooler Scythe SCBSK-2100
HDD 2TB WD20EARX
IR Kit ASRock Universal Remote
They will be using it for streaming Netflix, watching blu ray (to be installed later) and 720p MKV.
If you see anything incompatible or something I am missing please let me know.
Thank you in advance.

- Easy to use
- Has a remote - It was my understanding with the IR remote I could turn the unit on/off and set it up to control XBMC.
- It will last a few years
