I'm looking to build a HTPC to run windows 7 and it will run mainly xvids and the odd trailer in HD. Budget is fairly tight at £300 and I have come up with the following spec:
400W Colours IT PSU400MICRO 20+4 Pin, uATX PSU pPFC Silent £18.67
2GB (2x1GB) SuperTalent DDR3 PC3-8500 (1066MHz) 240 Pin, Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 7-7-7-15 £44.87
1TB Western Digital WD10EAVS Caviar Green £65.32
AMD Athlon II X2 250, Regor Core, S AM3, 3.0GHz, 512KB x 2 Cache, FSB/HT 2000MHz, 65W, Retail £50.49
Asus M4A785TD-M EVO, AMD 785G, AM3, PCI-E (x16), DDR3 1333/1600/1800, SATA 3Gb/s RAID, uATX, VGA £68.71
Silverstone SST-GD05B Grandia HTPC, Micro ATX, black £60.99
Total: £320.90
Does this sound ok? It will be connecting in to a Onkyo 706 Amp via HDMI

Oh I have also gone for Mirco ATX to reduce the size of the case.
