        Big difference in HTPC and gaming rig. You can probably go with the onboard GPU and save $300 on your build if you just using it as a HTPC.

          Just dropped $545 at Microcenter on a Processor, Motherboard and SSD. Good prices there.


          INTEL BOX INTEL CORE I7-3770K

          ASROCK ASROCK Z77 EXTREME4

          SAMSUNG E 250GB SSD 840 2.5 SATA 3S


          BTW Maynard i dry fitted the fan onto the motherboard and i still have room to close the case by a few inches although when i took it out of the package i had a panic attack.

          Right now the only things left are a GPU and power supply. Still gotta wait for my new desk to get here too

            Still thinking about it. I love using XBMC to manage my media library, so that's why I want to build an HTPC as opposed to just using a console for the same purpose.

              thats some awesome hardware right there. great value. i paid about 600-650 for my mobo/cpu/ssd and my ssd is only 128. Samsung SSD are rated very well too

              that mobo cpu combo is tits. the mobo has alot of nice features

              you should be fine with the cpu fan. just threw that out there as a heads up, but your case seemed wide enough.

                The guy at Microcenter said the fan that comes with the CPU is quality and it is up to me to install the aftermarket one. I think i will anyway just to make me feel better. I'm in the home stretch now and itching to get this thing built, i planned on getting it done by the end of the month but end of the week is looking more likely.

                  you want that aftermarket cpu fan. the stock fan is fine if you are making a run of the mill stock pc...but you wouldnt be buying that cpu if that was the case. if you want to save a few bucks the hyper 212 is about 10 bucks cheaper, but your fan has the nice blue LEDs

                    If you're going to buy anything from Newegg. Sign up for the free ShopRunner 2 day shipping.

                    I also have the same mobo you have and it's very nice.

                          Ill try to document the whole thing and give out thanks and appreciation to you. I know you're craving some ass kissing.

                            why would i need appreciation or ass kissing?

                            you made the thread so we could see the progress so it would only make sense to take a picture of the completed project.
