Additional Comments: My computers hard drive gave out. Luckily alot of my stuff was on an external hard drive. I was really only using it for a htpc so now I figure I will put an ssd in it and call it good. Then move onto a new build (first build also) and get something I have always wanted. I have alot of dvds I would rather stream than get up and find/ load into a player. Also I'm building a home theater in the basement before the year is up so I think a media server is in need. I don't think I'm going to keep the dvd's on iso but maybe mkv format so I'm thinking multiple disk readers and because I will be changing from iso i was thinking a i5 would be the best bet. I'm not stuck on any of this, like I said first build, but would like to know what you guys think and also what cords/adapters I would also have to buy to make the build go as smooth as possible. Also some questions, will that blu ray drive rip 3d and will I have room in this case for more hdd's down the road. I"m thinking I could need 10+ tb in the future. Also i'm thinking unRAID?

If your not overclocking, drop the 2500K for another i5, the K means the multiplier is unlocked, meaning overclockable.
