Hello All,
I have never built a computer or a HTPC before but it seems like the cost efficient way to go. I need your expertise.
Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP
Budget Range: $300 - $350 (May push up to $400 if needed)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: viewing HD 1080p content (ie. mkv video files), streaming HD videos on YouTube, Netflix, etc.
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.ca
Location: City, State/Region, Country - Toronto, Canada
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920 x 1080 (40" LED 1080p 120Hz HD TV)
Additional Comments: I would like it to be quiet. I won't need a DVD/Blu Ray player, mouse, or a keyboard. Will be connecting to the TV via HDMI.
Why Are You Upgrading: I'm frustrated my PS3 cannot view .mkv video files and WD TV Live is crap.
