I am building an HTPC for my mom's living room and am looking for help making this build cheaper without sacrificing too much in terms of reliability/performance.

Here is what I have so far : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/pJ9hVn

I would like to get this build closer to the $400 range.


Thanks for any help.


E: Mobo must have an HDMI output.

Coming down $150? Probably not going to happen.
Maybe a G3258 CPU, for $65-$70. https://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80646g3258

Sorry, I forgot to include that the mobo must have an HDMI output. Otherwise this is exactly the response I'm looking for.
