I finally got the go ahead to build a PC for the living room to handle movie playback and running itunes and such through a home stereo setup, so i did some research and came up with this.
I want to go Kabini just to say that i did and im curious as to how the low wattage chips can handle themselves. i think the rest is straightforward, i may put my 5770 into this pc but if the SOC video can handle the video duties i wont bother. It will be driving a 46" samsung LED, not sure if that matters.

Any input from the masses is greatly appreciated :attn:

Re-did the component list as i was spending too much money, but i think this puts me just under $450 if i bought today, anyone see anything bad wrong or outta place?

The ram i had from a previous build not exactly that kind but 4gb of patriot 1600 says g2 on the side.

May I suggest a sexier case?

EVGA Hadron
 
Silverstone case is sweet but too tall, it has to be under 14.5 inches, and the EVGA while awesome is 150% more than the CM which has a footprint i need :D
