Pretty much I want to be able to play my 1080p films and MAME etc~ and to be quiet
Atm i have media on my external usb 3TB drive but i think i would prefer it all in one location so was thinking of 2x2tb harddrives and use the external for backups.
This is what i guessed tbh for specs and want to make it cheaper but still have great performance.

Now this was all from the one vendor
So what can i get away with making this cheaper Should i get the hdd later and get an SSD for OS etc and use external for now or 2hdd and use a usb live boot for now till i get an ssd =z Would prefer to spend around £400 tops any help would be great think mobo might need downgrading only need/want 2 ram slots and not 4
