Hi all, im looking to build a bit of a home theatre type pc for £500-700 for my entertainment room. The PC will be attached to a projector (not included here) and will have 5.1 speakers installed (included below). Its going to be used for music and movies primarily, not really any gaming. May also want to upgrade to blu ray at some point in the future too so need to make sure the hardware can handle it. Just wanted to get your ratings on it, any improvements, money savings etc? Im UK so newegg is a little out of the question as a supplier, i perfer scan, we are on good terms.
Thanks all.
