Yet another HTPC thread ...

$

Hello, I'd like to build myself an HTPC running Win 7 with Daniela's version of HD audio, and going by the various threads in this forum (thanks for all the time invested by all) I think I have somewhat of an idea of what I want but still have questions and need help.

I would prefer to get everything from Amazon as I won't pay tax and have Prime.

- For the case I can't decide between the SilverStone Aluminum/Steel Micro ATX Media Center/HTPC Case ML03B or the SilverStone Aluminum/Steel Micro ATX HTPC Computer Case GD05B
Is one much better than the other? It looks like neither has front USB 3.0, would that be a problem?
Also looks like the GD05B comes with 3 fans already but are they silent enough not to be replaced?

- For the cpu I'm thinking AMD A8-3850 APU Quad-Core Processor unless you have a better idea...
Would it be overkill for Videos and a bit of Emulators gaming? It's just a few more bucks than the AMD A6-3500 or AMD A6-3650 so...

- Not sure what kind of CPU Cooler I should get.

- For the mobo, I need help too.

- For the SSD drive I'll get the Crucial 64 GB m4 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive SATA 6Gb/s

- For the PSU, I need help depending on which case I get.

- For RAM I was thinking Kingston Hyper X Plug n Play 4 GB (2x2GB Modules) 1866MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL11 Desktop Memory

- For the Bluray drive LG UH12LS28K LightScribe 12x SATA Blu-Ray Combo Internal Drive

- For keyboard
Perixx PERIPAD-701, Wireless Touchpad with Backlit Keyboard

I don't think I forgot anything Big Grin

Thanks!
