Hey guys - Just in the process of building myself a HTPC and am after a little advice.
I have ordered my Prodigy Yin case which is due to be derlivered next week and just found some money I had stashed away and forgotten about so am looking at placing my order for Mobo/CPU/RAM.
I want built in wifi preferbly (unless anyone has a better alternative?)
It will be used mainly as to store all of my music/games with YouTube use and light gaming on an LED TV.
So - heres my initial thoughts
Intel Core i3-3220 3.30GHz (Ivybridge) £99.99

Gigabyte H77N-WIFI Intel H77 £89.99

GeIL Black Dragon 8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit £23.99
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-114-GL&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517
I would like to keep the black/white theme on the inside and just have red or orange sleeved cabling as an accent.
Is this the best use of my money?
Cheers
SM.
