I have the hard drives and I have a Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3 motherboard already. I'd like to handle as many hard drives as I can.

I'll probably be running W7 on it but I'm contemplating Ubuntu. Not sure yet.

No cdrom is necessary a cheap video card is fine.

Do I need a lot of memory? I'd like to keep the cost between $300-400 but closer to $300 if feasible.

I'm not looking for a system to only download and run plex. I don't need a spectacular case either. Something that will hold what I need.

Am I asking for to much for too little?

What are your guy's suggestions?

Yes, but I need a processor, ram, a case that can handle this, cheap video card, and strong enough (?) power supply, fans, and whatever else I forgot... :D

I'm looking for input on those. I'm not really sure what specs this kind of computer would need. I don't stay current with prices or hardware really, just looking for some advice.
