First HTPC Build

Hi all,

This is my first post here.

Frustrated with the performance of my Apple TV2 and Midnight MX2 boxes, I decided to built a proper HTPC. Please tell me what you think of the build and please offer any guidance for which OS to use.

Thanks!

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-H77N-WIFI/A
RAM: 8GB DDR3 PC3-12800 CL9

Optical: Panasonic UJ240
Case: ASKTECH ALTO MINI ITX CASE NT-TX5000
