Need help with HTPC

I got a free A8 5600K from AMD Fan Day a while back and have been wanting to build a HTPC with it.

I have a budget of around 550 USD but because of shipping and CA tax that would come out to around 470-~480

I prefer newegg but I guess any retailer would work if I can get it for a lower price without the sales tax or shipping

I am not going to be going into hardcore gaming, this will be more like a living room box so I need a HTPC keyboard but nothing too fancy or expensive. I might want a 360 style controller for PC too if I can game on it

This is an unlocked processor but I am not going to be overclocking it, if anything I might underclock it depending on fan speeds and temperatures.

I will not be going for any kind of watercooling on this system

OS is not included in the price, I have already purchased a copy of Windows earlier for this.

I will not be mining Bitcoins

If I am playing games I will play probably go for 1080p if the settings dont work I will lower it down to 720p but nothing lower than that.

I will not play on "low" settings, medium is the lowest I game at.

This would mainly be casual games, but I might want to try Mass Effect ( 720p if I can't get good details in on 1080)

I really like the mini-ITX form factor so I am kinda limited in parts I can choose but I have a tentative build here http://pcpartpicker.com/p/17wH0

 EDIT: I have a SATA slimline adapter from a previous build where the dvd player stopped working.

Thanks,

Includes an AMD 7850 gpu, sfx form factor psu (since your chosen case only can accept this), wd black (as running an os of a green drive is incredibly slow), 4gb ram due to budget not that you will rarely need more anyway.

Thanks for the input, I really need a 3TB drive because this is also going to be housing all of the media (movies, photos, music, etc.) for the entire family so I am thinking of going with a cheaper small capacity hard drive or maybe a cheap 32GB SSD for a boot drive. Gaming is not the top priority because I can always add a card later if I want to turn it into a beefier gaming rig. Also I read that because the iGPU uses system RAM having 8GB is the best idea in order to keep some for the regular system and have enough for the iGPU unless that was only for gaming.

Look for the SG05 model with a 450w included. It is 80+ Bronze and the entire case with PSU is about $95 CAD when I bought it.

Thanks, I think that would actually be better, it is much cheaper but is there a huge difference in bronze vs gold 80+ for a system with low power usage like a HTPC?

Yeah that SG05 is a top deal at that price. Dont worry about the power usage. Maybe a few cents extra every month.
