Hello. I have a mission to create the best HTPC for only $800. The goal is to also be as quiet and cool as possible. This is for my family so we will be using it for music, movie streaming, movie ripping/playback, watching blu-ray dvds, and light gaming.
I came up with a rough list here. But it doesn't seem as great as it could be. Could you guys spare an opinion or two? It would be much appreciated.

Reasons for this part list: Haswell refresh and maxwell are both cool, power efficient, and quiet. Seemed like all great things for an HTPC. My family has a blu-ray collection so we would need a blu-ray player in this build. Also, I don't plan to overclock this build.
Thanks.
