I am trying to build a new computer just for my Plex Media Server. The plan is to set it in the corner and never touch it again. But the biggest variable is power consumption. I am trying to build the best system that pulls the least amount of power without losing performance. So here is my part list below.

Case: Cooler Master Elite 110
CPU/Mobo: ASRock C2550D4I
PSU: SeaSonic SS-300ET
RAM: Kingston 4GB DDR3 1333 ECC
SSD(OS): ADATA XPG SX900 64GB
HDD(Storage): WD Blue 1TB

This is to start, down the road I'll add more Hard Drives.

Thoughts?
