Down below you will find the items i will recieve for free at end of july. I need help with the case, blueray drive, ir remote, and other media related cards i might need to build HTPC with. I am leaning towards Fractal Design Node 605 for a case. Lastly will those parts i will be getting be enough to build a decent HTPC build? Also i don't know what media server i should go with PLEX, XMBC, WINDOWS media center etc? I definitely will be purchasing gtx770 card just because i have one on my gaming build.. Will buy exact same card and put it in this build so that if needed in the future i can take it from this and do sli config on my gaming rig. Should i consider replacing motherboard with mitx board? What should i use for cooling medium?

SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze 620W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2.91 SLI Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Nice build , but switch out the power supply to this ^ That Thermaltake isn't a good unit

I would also go with low profile ram.
