My primary goal with this next computer is to be capable of some gaming and also Blu-ray video streaming. I have a decent digital collection and I'd like to be able to stream it directly to my TV. My projected final setup is to have this new tower storing all of the movies and using a wireless HDMI to extend the monitor out to my TV which would allow me to pick the movie and play without the hassle of cables and moving the PC.
Based on the above background, is this something that can be done at a reasonable price (~$1000) building my own rig? If not, are there other alternatives to accomplish the streaming and gaming? I'm not opposed to building a rig for the gaming and accomplishing the streaming in another way. It doesn't have to be one piece of hardware to complete both goals.
For now, I'd like to get some feedback on what path is most cost effective. Once I decide on a path I'll add on to this thread with a build for review.
