Please review this build (I know it is probably a little bit on the over kill side):
case - Lian Li Black Alum PC-C50B Micro ATX HTPC Case ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6811112303
) ($179)
MOBO - MSI H67MA-E35 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel H67 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...20%28B3%29 ) ($103)
CPU- Intel Core i3-2105 Sandy Bridge 3.1GHz 2 x 256KB L2 Cache 3MB L3 Cache LGA 1155 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor BX80623I32105
- (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...pk=i3-2105
) ($140)
PSU - Antec EA-380D ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...%20EA-380D
) ($45)
RAM - Crucial Ballistix sport 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT25664BA1339 - ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...Pin%20DDR3 ) ($45)
HDD - Western Digital Caviar Green WD20EARS 2TB 64MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6822136514 ) - ($80)
SSD for OS (OCZ Vertex Series OCZSSD2-1VTX30GXXX 2.5" 30GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) - (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6820227393 ) ($85).
My usage will be primarily viewing movies from HDDs (internal and external) (.iso files and blu ray). Hopefully heavy skin usage. Any ripping/decoding will be done on another machine. If I need to use physical DVDs,I will use stand-a lone DVD/Blue ray/3D player.
TV is a 60" Panasonic Vierra Plasma.
I might order the new Lian Li PC-C60B case (availability is supposed to be in about a week or two - probably will add approx $30)
I do not know how much room there will be for an aftermarket CPU cooler, therefore I do not know which one to order (need slim and quiet cooler??). I assume the stock cooler should be replaced??).
Oh yeah - Windows 7 64 bit will most likely me the OS![Huh Huh](https://forum.kodi.tv/images/smilies/question.png)
I guess these components will work together.
I probably forgot some info -please do not hesitate to ask , comment or suggest. I know you guys are not bashful!!
Thanks!!
