Hi there everyone,
I'm new to the forums, however I think I will be round for a while.
So I've treated myself to a new 3d tv and really want to take advantage of it along with my highspeed fibre optic broadband. So I've pitched myself in the group 7 bracket and have been researching quite a bit for the right products.
My aim is to add a blu-ray drive at a later date, however I require my HTPC to be able to play everything I chuck at, which includes everything 1080p 3D and HD audio but without being noisy and keeping the running costs as low as possible. Subsequently I'm looking at the following parts, however I am struggling on a PSU and cooling and would welcome all the advice I can get.
I have a high capacity 3.5" HDD which I would like to use within my HTPC the rest I need to buy.
Streacom ST-FC5ODB HTPC Fanless Aluminium Case
ASRock FM2A85X Extreme4-M FM2 AMD A85X
AMD A6-5400K Black Edition 3.60GHz
Crucial RealSSD M4 64GB 2.5 SATA 6Gb/s
Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz (I'm not sure if this is the appriopriate memory but at £29.99 seems like good value)
So all I really need now is the PSU and any cooling, which is where I'm really stuck.
I appreciate and welcome any advice and feedback
