Ive got a massive dvd collection that Im looking to backup and then stream via Plex. I am new to PC building, and do not understand exactly what and where my limitations are in building a system for something like this. All the same, here is my first draft on a possible build:
Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Avexir Platinum 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1333 Memory
Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
Western Digital Red 3TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive
Lian-Li PC-A75WX ATX Full Tower Case
SeaSonic 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Asus BC-12B1ST/BLK/B/AS Blu-Ray Reader, DVD/CD Writer
Microsoft Windows 8 Professional (OEM) (64-bit)
I'm looking to make some cuts, as the final price is a bit above my budget as well. However, Im not sure what I can cut or what to replace it with.
I will be streaming to 4 devices at once max. 2 will be Roku players, 1 is my main TV (which is right by where my system is so a direct hook up is likely), and another is a Nexus 10 tablet. I know that I may need to add a wireless network card later for all of that but Im just trying to get the right initial components at first, and will just play on my main TV at first and add the rest later. Thus, Ive only included 1 3tb hard drive ( i have another I can use, and will be adding 2-4 more soon, and wanted the extra expansion space that the case provides for future expansion).
So far the prices are:
i5 is 229.99
ASrock is 126
RAM is 150
SSD is 85
Case is 215
Power Supply is 150
Optical is 59
OP is 143
Looking to get this down to about a thousand dollars, hopefully in a way that wont kill the over all capability of this machine. What do you guys think?
