Cheap HTP/Living room streaming pc

[Tasuma]

Doing some upgrades to my main pc and going to have a left over GPU and PSU. So I figured why not just buy some budget parts, throw it into my living room, and use it for in-home streaming, light gaming, and movies on the big screen. I could use my old HDDs that still work but I'd rather have an SSD since they are quick. What do you guys think?

Why H97? Couldn't you go with a cheaper H81 or B85?

that is cheapest mini itx mobo around for the lga 1150 socket at least in australia it is

You could go with a cheaper B85 board and save 20$ Never mind didn't see the itx. The power supply is a bit overkill aswell could go for a 550W Nevermind didn't read it. Everything  is sweet.

He's building this PC because he has the extra PSU.

Why not? It's a $30 difference if that. Plus I like asrock.

G3258? Will you overclock it on an H class mobo? if not, get the G3250 for over $15 less. However, I might want at least an i3 for that graphics card. Depends on the games though. Also in this case there are $30 cheaper itx mobos. I'd go MSI H81i.

EDIT: If you like asrock, H81M-ITX?

I could get a z97 board and call it a day and that cpu would be fine for an r9 380. I'm not going to be doing much 1080p on that rig since it'll be hooked up to my TV anyways. I mainly have it in there just because I have it left over. Most living room gaming I'd be doing would be streamed from my main rig or indie games on a controller.

 

Edit: You can infact overclock on h97! So I can take my old cpu cooler if it'll fit and put a nice little OC on the baby.
