Fair warning: This is the first time I'll be building a PC, so I've decided to start with a budget HTPC.
What do you think of this build? I expect to buy a few of the items from Newegg and a few of them from Microcenter. I have two $40 for $20 deals to spend at Newegg, afterall.
Newegg wishlist: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=15656531
Will that RAM work with my build? I've heard that DDR3 1600 is decent, but I dont know if I need to fill 2 slots out of the 4, or if I can fill just one.
I expect to either use an old HDD that I'll take from an old PC or I'll look for a good deal later on.
Thanks for looking!
