I'm looking to build a machine that I can hookup to my receiver/projector in my basement via an HDMI cable. My sound setup in the basement is a 5.1 setup. I was looking at the following components but I'm not sure if it'll be strong enough for what I'm wanting to do (or if it's all compatible with each other)
Needs: I want to be able to browse and I want to be able to store/play my BR rips (I always rip my blu-ray movies when I buy them so I can put the discs away. This way my kids can't destroy them).

Hard Drive:

Plus I have a 60 gig SSD laying here I could use for the OS
Wireless adapter:

Any ideas would be appreciated
TIA!

Well I finally bit the bullet. Ended up getting the following:

Hopefully everything fits together well (and is compatible too lol). It's been 4-5 years since I last built a machine.
thanks again all for all the information/help. It's much appreciated!
