Never built a computer before, so beware of an amateur.
Case - Antec Three Hundred Illusion Black Steel ATX Mid Tower - 44.99 (AR)
MOBO - Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P Socket AM3+ 760G mATX AMD - 44.99 (AR)
CPU - AMD A6 X3 3500 2.1GHz Triple Core Socket FM1 -49.99
PSU - Corsair Builder Series CMPSU-430CXV2 430 Watt ATX - 28.24 (AR)
RAM - Crucial 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 - 21.99
Total = $190.20 (After Rebates)
Planning on using it as storage for HTPC streaming and for torrent seeding. Probably will start out for awhile with only 6 HDs, so considering the MOBO and the case, I don't believe I'll need any additional hardware for that amount of hard drives.
1. Are these components all compatible?
2. Which components am I missing? (Not sure what a PCI card is or if I need it, Network card, etc.)
3. How is this build for a basic NAS server?
4. Any other suggestions on hardware/other options?
Would very much appreciate any feedback. Thanks!
