Posted April 18, 2014 Hey guys, I'm planning to build a cheap XBMC PC. It will be only used for XBMC. Please have a look at the parts: AMD A6-6400K ---- $66 Asus A55M-E FM2 Motherboard --- $66 Kingston HyperX 4GB ---- $41 Antec Vsk 3000e ---- $26 Corsair CX Series CX430 ---- $25 WD Blue 500 GB Desktop Hard Drive ---- $54 Total = 278 I really can't exceed my budget which is $220 Is there any way I can shrink the price to 220?

Posted April 18, 2014 Try and find a free HDD from a old PC to take of the $50 that the HDD would cost. That should put you right at your budget.

Posted April 18, 2014 See if you can borrow parts from other systems. Also get a 1TB HDD I know it costs more but its less money per gigabyte.
