Home File Server Build 2013

I am going to build myself a home file server so I can chuck on all my films, tv shows, photos etc.

​I need some help choosing the component.

I preferably need a CPU, Mobo, Power Supply, Ram and case for under $200.

This is excluding hard drives because I already have some.

No operating system required as I can get it for free through Mircrosoft Dreamspark as a student.(Go and check it out if you haven't!)

Will use Windows Server 2008 RC2.(Far better than 2013)

Any thoughts or help will be greatly appriciated

I managed to scrape something together that still had quality components from trusted brands at a price of $259

Corsair 200R Case

AMD A4-3400

ASUS F1A55-M Plus mATX Motherboard

Corsair CX430 430w

Corsair 4GB DDR3 1333MHz

I would stay with name brand components because you don't really want a server with a bunch of data on it being unreliable!

If you havent thought of this already why not just buy a nas server, you can get a good one for around 200.
