HTPC on the cheap

[exceluk1]

Looking to build my 1st htpc, in fact this will be my 1st pc build.
Have done a little bit of reading and really confused myself with the option so thought i would put it out to you guys.

Budget = £400 possibly upto £500 if I catch the Mrs in a good mood.

Will be used mainly to watch live content via an Enigma 2 sat box (using Kodi as a front end). No gaming. While 4k is not currently required, it would be nice to know that a simple GPU upgrade would work. Mass storage is provided via a NAS, all connected via a Gb wired network.

I already have a XFX Radeon R7770 and a Coolmaster GX 550W psu, that I hope I can use.

Preferred case / Style
Cooltek G3 (The look of an AV amp with volume control).

Would like to have a fast SSD so she runs fast.

Not sure what else to add, any help / advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

It's worth noting that you can just get a Steam Link for like 30 pound. It puts your windows desktop and whatever you are running on a second screen anywhere in your home.

This well worth a look, if only for the kodi front end from my main pc. Need to work on the Mrs and get saving. Thanks all.
