Hey everyone, thanks for stopping in to help. I am currently setting up a media machine for the living room, here are the specs:
Define R4 Case & EVGA NEX 650 PSU
i5-6600K & 16GB DDR4 on a Gigabyte Z170X-UD3
250GB Crucial BX100 SSD & 1TB WD Blue HDD
LG WH16NS40 Blu-Ray Reader/Writer
GTX 960
The goal of this machine is to manage a home theater system. It needs to be able to play all Blu rays without having to rip them to the HDD first, but also being able to rip favorites when desired. DVD and Music playback and ripping is pretty straight forward compared to Blu-Rays, so I imagine once the Blu Ray issues are resolved so will the DVD and CD issues.
I'd also like to try a few different programs for playback such as XBMC or PLEX to be manage libraries and playback. Are there any other suggestions for good media suite programs? They don't need to be free, but being economical is good. It's worth mentioning I read all of the suggested threads before I posted this. I haven't quite found the answer I was looking for, so I posted here.
