New Build for Media PC

[pjspring]

I just need a sanity check for a PC that I want to build to connect to my TV. It will mainly be used for playing music (through the TV and the AV Amplifier), streaming internet video at 1080p to the TV and web browsing. It needs to be small, so I chose the Mini-ITX form factor and I wanted to make it as cheap as possible, given the low usage requirements. Main I/O requirements are DVI video output and optical TOSlink audio output.

This is my first home build so I would like someone, if possible, to just check that I'm not doing something stupid. This is what I am planning:

CASE: Thermaltake Element Q VL52021N2U
MOTHERBOARD (with CPU): ASRock E350M1 / AMD E-350
MEMORY: Kingston DDR3 1066 2x2GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200 250GB
OPTICAL: Sony Optiarc 18X SATA DVD-ROM
OS: Windows 7 Premium 64bit

Also, have I forgotten anything important?

Many thanks for your help.

Cool, I was looking at a similar build (same board or equivalent by Asus or MSI) for a low power media and home office desktop. How much did you spend for this build if you don't mind me asking?

$261.97 from Amazon plus $99.99 for the OS.

I don't know exactly, but it's pretty low.
