Hello guys.
After a few weeks of research, I think I'm almost ready to build my first HTPC.
I'd use it to:
watch mkv files (1080)
watch Blu-ray Disc
watch videos in streaming (out of US, I'm from Italy)
jdownloader (not 24/7 but the most of the time it will be ON)
listen radio and music files
no gaming so far, but maybe one day I could think about it.
For sure, I'm searching for something quite and energy saving.
SSD is missing, I know, I'll take a look at it soon.
My config:
Mobo ASRock A75 Pro4 FM1 ATX VGA OnBoard
CPU AMD FM1 A6-3500 Box (2,10GHz)
CPU FAN Arctic Cooling Freezer 13
RAM CORSAIR Vengeance Blue DDR3 4GB / 1600Mhz
HDD Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB 3.5" Intellipower 64MB SATA3 WD20EARX
PSU BEQUIET 350W Pure Power
BD Blu-ray LITEON iHOS104 Retail Front Silver Black
CASE HTPC MS-Tech MC-380 ATX Nero
It will costs about 420€ and this is what I can afford as budget.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
