Greetings /r/buildapc! I've been tinkering with the idea of building my own home media center/gaming pc for some time now and hopefully this will suffice. I currently stream all my media files from my laptop to my PS3 as well as connecting the laptop to the TV to stream Live Events (Football, UFC), but I was hoping to avoid all of that with having a stand alone PC that will do all that. I was trying to maintain a smaller case (MICROATX), but I found that the one I chose came with a power supply. As for the gaming, I would love to have a PC that is capable of running smoothly that also doesn't have to be cranked up to the highest settings. This is my first attempt at putting a pc together and any input would be greatly appreciated! If you also have any suggestions for wireless keyboard/mouse i'm open to ideas. Thanks again and hopefully this doesn't get downvoted to oblivion.
