Hello I am new to this and I am looking to build a HTPC. After looking at several guides I came up with some components but not sure if I am going in the right direction and am looking for any insight and advice. My unit will be used to stream movies, and perhaps some light gaming. I am thinking of running XMBC with it, and am leaning on having Apple TV in separate rooms non that will be ran at the same time.
Here is a link to my build. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/AlkU
CPU: Intel Core i3-3225 3.3GHz Dual-Core
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master GeminII S524 77.7 CFM Sleeve Bearing
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600
SSD: Intel 330 Series 60GB 2.5" SSD
Case: Silverstone GD04B HTPC Case
LG UH12NS29 Blu-Ray Reader, DVD/CD Writer
Silverstone Strider Plus 500W 80 PLUS
I am not sure of a good motherboard to use, or if this setup is more than what is needed. Any advice would be welcomed.
