Hi Guys,
I'm looking for some advice. I want to use XBMC to watch my movie collection which is saved on a NAS and watch/record UK satellite tv.
I going to build a system with the following hardware which hopefully should last me a few years
Novatech Vision Media Centre Case
3rd Generation Intel Core i3 3225 3.3GHz Socket LGA1155
ASRock B75M Motherboard (Socket 1155, Intel B75, DDR3, S-ATA 600, Micro ATX, Instant Boot, AsRock XFast LAN and XFast USB, AsRock APP Charger)
64GB Crutial SSD for operating system
Western Digital 2TB SATA 6Gbps Power Saving Internal Hard Drive OEM - Caviar Green
BD drive to added at a later date. Any recommendations?
TBS6981 PCI-E DVB S2 HD Dual Tuner Card
I need 4GB/8GB RAM, are there any recommendations?
Do I need to purchase a power supply and additional fans?
Also as this is my first HTPC build so are there any pointers you experts can give me especially related to CPU temperatures etc?.
Any help greatly appreciated.
