Hi I'm looking to build a mini ITX rig as a HTPC / sometimes gaming machine. Could anyone help out with some ideas.

Approximate Purchase Date: within a month

Budget Range: around £500 give or take £100 (obviously the cheaper the better)

System Usage from Most to Least Important:
Home theatre
Gaming
TV playback/recording

Are you buying a monitor: No

Do you need to buy OS: No

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: any

Location: Devon, UK

Parts Preferences: None

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: No

Additional Comments: It only needs a smallish system drive as I will stream media from my NAS. It would be nice to be able to run modern games at a passable level

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I'm moving house and would like to consolidate what I have under my TV into one box
