I'm building an HTPC for a family member. Budget is ~$850.
They want to use it for streaming, movies, some music editing(Audacity). They want the ability to rip and burn blu-ray/dvd/cd. They want to be able to store their extensive movie collection so lots of storage. Also, they want to have the PC next to the TV so slim/nice looking case and also quiet. Here's what I'm thinking:
CPU: i5-6400
Storage: 5TB SATA 6.0GB 7200 RPM and 240GB SSD
RAM: 16GB DDR4
Optical: Blu-Ray burner
Case: Micro-atx desktop
I'm thinking of using aftermarket cpu cooling that is low profile and quiet. Also, I'm guessing most cases that would fit these needs would require a TFX PSU so something reliable and quiet. Finally, the person has wi-fi provided by their land lord, but with their current set up they are just outside of range... so a long range wi-fi adapter should help.
Please provide any suggestions. Thank you.
