Hey guys
I want to build a HTPC that will be eventually connected to a NAS. What I'm looking for is to be able to play my collection of 1080p movies/tv shows. Gaming is nice, but i don't think i'll play anything more than old consoles emulation (SNES, genesis for nostalgia)
Here is what my build looks like for now
PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2hXpmG
Price breakdown by merchant: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2hXpmG/by_merchant/

I'm looking for feedback to see if i am missing something obvious or if you have better ideas. I don't really have a budget in mind, but like I said, i don't think i need the latest i7 CPU and a kickass GPU for my needs. Weirdly enough, if you have some recommendations for a fancier case i wouldn't mind spending more.
Thank you
