So as the title says, I am trying to build a low cost HTPC for my bedroom.
I just want a small PC that can playback bluray without any lag @ 1080p.
I have a laptop with a 1.8 C2D, a 8600m and a bluray drive that can handle that task
with no problems, but,, it is broken. I am looking at building something slightly more powerful than the laptop because I am looking at staying under about 450 dollars with shipping included. I already have the memory listed.
How does this look?

Let me know if it is too much for what I want. Any more savings can
help a lot. Everything minus the ram that I already have comes out
to 470 with shipping included.
