The board+CPU are incompatible (different sockets), you will want a A88X chipset FM2+ type board for that chip.

Such as - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-591-AS&groupid=701&catid=1903&subcat=2399

Also APUs do benefit from fast RAM so grab a 2133/2400Mhz kit.

How about a cheaper case?

What drives do you have?

if you just want to stream movies iplayer etc have a look in the
home cinema & hi fi part of the forum

amazon fire tv , firestick etc

what parts do you currently have , OS, hdd's etc

You could also look at low end QNap and Synology NASs. Depends on how you intend to stream - will your clients be doing all the heavy lifting or do you need the server to transcode?

Thanks all. I have an ssd with os.
I am looking at using Windows to stream and I need ie for this. Will be using sky go ect.
I also want to watch play movies on it via Bluray and rips.
