yup get an i3 2100 or 2120 with an h61 or h67 chipset mobo,A cheap but quality power supply like the antec earthwatts or corsair cx430 or similar.Lastly since you will be watching at 1080p I would recommend getting a GPU like the HD 5450(20$) as intel's HD2000 or HD3000 won't do 1080p smoothly.Also since RAM is cheap get some 8gb corsair or g.skill. Even 4gb would do though if you are on a budget.As for the HDD.If I were you I would look for one lying around the house.Maybe in a laptop or pull one out of the PS3 because as of now HDD prices are inflated like hell and there's no point paying 2.5x the normal amount.In a few months the prices will become more reasonable.NOTE: You can also build a shuttle PC. A shuttle PC is a small form factor computer but still packs a punch.Cases look like stereos too!You could also go for an AMD build but that will consume more power!
