I'm building a HTPC to play DVDs, and music in my living room. I'm not a serious gamer, but I would like to play Need for Speed: Carbon on it. This is the plan so far. Tell me what you think:
This case
CPU
MoBo
Two of these DVD drives
Two of these RAM sticks (4gb total)
A card reader to show pictures from the camera
A wireless keyboard and mouse (not planning on having a remote control)
Two game controllers
Two 500GB HDDs to store music & movies
This graphics card should keep up with the games
This sound card should play the music nicely
This TV Tuner card
This power supply
I am looking at getting this TV to hook it all up to. The sound will go out to my stereo via optical cable.
