Hey thanks I will make sure to take that into consideration.

Here's an edit on my build. I was able to bring down the price just a little more:

since you're not actually gaming, this will do fine:

For your usecase, this is a good enough setup, as a home HTPC you really don't need high end parts just to watch netflix or youtube.

And it can do some office work just fine.

You can save around 30$ by going with just 8 GB of memory (2 x 4 GB) and add later another 8 GB if you feel it's not enough. The motherboard has 4 memory slots.

You can also save around 45$ by dropping the 1 TB hard drive if you have one around or you can buy one later.

The 250 GB SSD is enough for operating system and maybe 1-2 games.

 

With the above, you'll get the price below 500$ ignoring the mail-in rebates

 

Note that some prices are the same on Amazon or Newegg so you could probably reduce the stores to only Newegg and Amazon for a few dollars more.

 

Solid enough! 

I would replace the DS3H for either an ASRock VDH (less $, similarly low end performance, but the DS3H has some severe thermal limitations.) or the Pro4M (slightly more $. Significant quality boost over both the VDH and the DS3H.)

OP indicated in a follow up post that gaming is something he's interested in dabbling in.

May as well grab the RX 570 if it fits in budget.
