Home theater PC compatability

[Potalien]

Hey everyone, I've just completed researching a home entertainment PC build ( http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Potalien/saved/2mFKHx ) Before anyone asks, yes I do want that many hard drives as I'll have two pairs of hard drives in raid 1 for data safety. Before I start buying Id like to make sure all parts are compatible / I haven't wasted huge amounts of money. If there are any other suggestions to lowering the cost of the PC that be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Get 1866 ram instead - it'll help your integrated graphics run faster.

Get a better quality power supply eg Seasonic 520, XFX 550 or Antec HCG 520M

Everything looks good.
+1 on the RAM suggestion, although it won't make any noticeable difference in media centre.

A lot of home theatres just us the integrated graphics. the a10 5800k has hd7660 which is about as good as a R7 250

Thanks any other ideas / concerns, In relation to the graphics card, this is to be used as a secondary gaming pc for my little sister so I'd like to keep the extra horsepower.

If you're going with a discrete graphics card, there's no reason to go with an APU. Swap out the A10-5800K with the Athlon X4 760K and save $25.

If this is a HTPC, I would keep the APU. If your discrete card ever goes out that can be used as a backup until you can get a new card. The price difference is minimal.

Thanks for the advice kira70591

Hey guys, quick question, getting a PCI-E Wifi Card (http://www.cplonline.com.au/intel-7260-hmwwb-dual-band-wireless-ac-7260-plus-bluetooth.html ) for the HTPC. Will there be any issues having an Intel card in an AMD build?
Thanks

 

[Wolfshadw]

No. It's not going to cause any issues. You're good to go.
