Approximate Purchase Date: This week - two weeks out
Budget Range: $400-$600
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Online streaming live sports, Blu-Ray/DVD playback, Media library playback, over-theair-antenna TV station playback
Parts Not Required:
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg, ncix
Parts Preferences: I was thinking Intel's i3/i5/i7...if they will be powerful enough
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Additional Comments: My main focus with this build is for control of all of the listed usages. Also, I want to be sure when I stream and play Blu Ray that they play on my 55" Bravia in perfect 1080p quality. Will I need a strong processor and graphics cards to pull this off? This is where I am getting confused - how powerful do I need to go?
Lastly, would a Tv tuner card benefit me for the over the air stations or can I just leave the cable fed straight to the TV?
Thanks!
