Need some help/advice with my low/no budget htpc.

[trainergames]

I am working on building a low/no budget htpc,mainly from extra parts lying around,i have no extra money,if i do spend extra on parts i will have to find something of mine to sell,or mabye trade something on craigslist.

 

Here is the parts i have:

AMD x2 5600+ 2.8ghz

Abit kn9 sli mobo

6gb of ddr2 ram

Antec Basiq 350w(i i am 95% sure it won't be enough)

EVGA 8800gts 320mb(If i can find my gtx 460 se i will use it instead)

2 tv tuners(one from a dell,the other from a lenovo)

5 IDE hard drives(3x80gb,2x120gb)

a 120gb sata drive if i can where i put it.

a 250GB sata drive

a 500gb sata drive if i can find where it got put.

and a 2tb sata drive if i can get a replacment drive for my mom(i lent the drive to her after her drive went out)

 

I am sure i will need to upgrade the power supply,and cheap suggestions?

 

Also any other suggestions and advice you can give on this build would be helpful.

The PSU may be fine, but you could sell it and pick up a Corsair CX430 or EVGA 430W 80+. Other than that, don't sweat it and enjoy.

The 7850 uses more power than the 8800 and it works fine with the Basiq 350.

ty guys,do you guys think it will be a decent HTPC(considering the budget)?

Well, this is why I said "may".

 

And anyways, estimated wattage for the system is 408W, according to eXtremePSUCalculator (assuming the IDE drives are 5400RPM and the SATA drives are normal speed mechanical drives.

It should do just fine for 720P, possibly even for 1080P. Considering the budget, it should perform fine.

oh ok, I thought it meant consumption

 

otherwise at stock you'd probably hit like 200w on a bad day.
