Here is a list of parts I have picked out. I am looking to build a decent system that is going to last me the next 5-6 years. Mostly used as a file server to serve content to my ps3/ATV/XBMC devices. Also used to encode dvd's and do some light video editing. Might possibly get into some gaming again, but mostly stick to my ps3 for that.
I have a $50 Amazon.com gift card and $225 in Newegg.com gift cards to put towards the build. I already have a 27" monitor, 60 GB ocz vertex 3 ssd for OS and Windows 7. I might also go with linux over Win 7. Haven't decided yet but have used Ubuntu/Mint for the last 6 years on previous build. I'd like to keep my out of pocket expenses in the $5-700 range.
Looking for advice on all parts. I'd like an energy efficient PSU as this machine will likely run 24x7. I live near a microcenter, so I can pick up parts from there.

Thanks in advance!
