Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg and Amazon but I'm open to reputable sites

I'm looking for suggestions for everything else. Thanks.

you don't have to go with the cpu cooler cause you could use the stock cooler, but it is to loud for my liking. so i recommended the cooler i use.

Thank you for the suggestions. Another question - What are the pros and cons of a micro atx motherboard vs a full size atx motherboard?

t's mainly a question of size. mATX is smaller. The draw back is that it contains less slots (quite often it's 4 slots, 2 PCI and 1 of each PCI Express).
For a HTPC you can usually get2 tuners, 1 graphics and 1 sound card into a mATX (though some graphic cards are wider and occupy 2 slots). Most people with mATX usually go for onboard sound and/or graphics.
