Budget HTPC build

[greaper007]

Hi guys, I'd like to thank everyone for the reasoned timely posts on this forum. I've been reading through threads for about a month now trying to figure out what I want for an HTPC. I think I've finally come up with a solution. Let me know what you thing

That brings the total to 358 with shipping. I'll be using this system primarily for video playback and media storage. Maybe a little light previous gen gaming. What does everyone think? Will I get 4-5 years out of this thing?

Thanks again.

First thing that jumps out is you've got DDR3 RAM and a DDR2 motherboard. Switch to a DDR3 motherboard.

Thank you, I didn't even notice that.
