Hey guys, first timer on here. I've built a couple gaming PC systems but first time trying to build a HTPC/NAS system. After looking at a couple guidelines, this is what I got: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3qYWT. Just wanting to get some opinions on the system - will it work well as both a HTPC and NAS? As well as recommendations on what kind of OS I should run and what application to support the NAS side of the system. Thanks!
