Do not wanna spend a fortune on hardware i don't need its not going to be my gaming machine.

Right now it will be mainly streaming 1080p and some movies i have on my server.

Hey Begbie
The gear i have is loud and big all from gaming rigs, the machine i would like to build ideally would be small and quiet, So i would have to buy some parts regardless of using some older gear

Thanks

I don't think you need to go building anything like the spec you have posted there. Go on hot uk deals and go to the computers section, scroll down and look for Vorke V1 Plus. I think it's ideal for what you need.

I use a fire stick for Kodi and streaming from my Synology running Plex. Works absolutely fine at 1080p! Why bother with a new build when it's not really needed?

Use a Raspberry Pi for Kodi, much better.
