APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Within the next few weeks
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: 95% HTPC and movie storage, 5% Internet use
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: I need everything for this build (except TV/monitor)
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg, Microcenter & Fry's (Both local) I will only go to these places if it makes $en$e - 8% sales tax - if it's a few buck difference, sure I'll go there
PARTS PREFERENCES: New
OVERCLOCKING: No
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: No
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 42" - 1920x1080
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I've already "built" a system on Newegg...see below. I'm looking to store my DVD collection on this. I also have around a dozen Blu-Ray that would be priority #2 if space is still available on the HDD
Is there anywhere I could save money? Am I missing anything?
I've thought of a TV tuner, but I really don't need/want that...that's why I left it out.
Will the on-board graphics/audio be enough? Or should I pop for a 5450? I do not presently have any additional audio system that this will be connected to. The only audio will be through the HDMI connection through the TV.
