Hi all
Setting myself a project in the new year to do my first HTPC build.
Doing loads of research looking into all the different builds out there (mad props to Assassin's Hardware guide!!!) and think I have a decent build on my hands.
Here's links to the parts I'm looking at:
CPU:

Noticed this CPU had the Intel HD 4400 integrated graphics and a slightly higher i3 had the 4600. Is the price difference worth the performance here?
MOBO:

RAM:

PSU:

CASE:

Scored a 3TB HDD from a mate I'm planning to use for it as well.
Essentially looking at having this machine run the server and client for MediaBrowser 3 and maybe some light gaming (only as demanding as the Lego series of games for friendly co-op).
How's this build look, could you recommend any additions or changes?
Cheers!
