Just kind of threw this together. Let me know if you have any recommendations on different parts or if you notice any compatibility issues. Thanks!

Budget & Location

US. I'd like to stay under $500 so the wife okays it.

 

Aim

Netflix, YouTube, BluRays/DVDs, and Emulators. Some browsing maybe...

 

Monitor

Why?

I want a new project and I've always loved the idea of an HTPC.
