Hi folks, I'm just about to (finally) pull the trigger on an HTPC build and wanted to make sure these components look alright.
The motherboard has been my biggest headache deciding on. I was all set to pick up an ASRock off Newegg until I found it was out of stock. Now I'm leaning toward a Gigabyte despite some of the negative reviews on the same site.
What do the experts say?
Antec ISK 300-65
Core I3 2100
Gigabyte GA-H67N-USB3-B3 Mini-ITX
4GB G.Skill low voltage kit
30GB Kingston SSD (Only needed for Windows installation)
HL slim slot-loading BD/DVD combo off Ebay that someone here recommended
The main aim is low power consumption, especially when not in use. Hence the low voltage memory.
Anyone spot any glaring problems with this build? I'm still uncertain on the motherboard.
