Final check on HTPC build. Ready to hit "buy" if I get a thumbs up

[fleep]

So every 3 years the company I work for gives employees $800 to buy "technology". So I think I'm going to try my hand at an HTPC build and light gaming. I'm all carted up and ready to press the buy button. Hoping someone can chime in w/ some advice if the below makes sense. I know this is probably overkill for a HTPC, but I get $800 so I might as well use it!

My thought was to use the SSD for the OS and program install and the 3TB external HDD for DVRing stuff...

Get a quality power supply from Antec, Corsair, PC Power and Cooling, Seasonic, or Fortran Source (FSP). 450 watts would be about the maximum wattage needed for this set up.

Drop down to 8 GB of RAM and you can get it for a lot cheaper.

You probably don't need a 240GB SSD either. I'd probably recommend dropping down to 120-128GB

You mention wanting the 3TB external drive for DVR-ing, but I don't see a TV Tuner card. What is your video source (cable w/set top box, cable w/o set top box, satellite, or free over the air broadcasts)?

Thanks for the replay Wolfshadw. My company reimbusement won't cover TV Tuner cards. I'm going to pick up a:

Ceton InfiniTV 4 Quad-tuner Card

But as a separate purchase tomake the reimbursmment a bit smoother.

Thanks for the feedback o the PSU. I never know what to get...
