Im planning on using it as a HTPC/Data Storage/Run steam on the TV
Let me know what you think :)
 
Looking for anything unnecessary or anything that isn't good enough to keep up with the rest of the build.
(Disclaimer: Its my first try at a build (: )

As its going to be a htpc i wanted it to look a bit more flashy with the touch display and also you can set profiles to be selected via a web browser which (for the less experienced users in my house when watching movies or playing music) will be easier to manage without putting them too low that it overheats.
I was debating the psu upgrade so I will as its only about $20 more for 650 W at the same quality.
 
 
One other thing I was debating with myself was whether or not to switch the seagate 4TB HDD to:
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($139.00 @ CPL Online)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($139.00 @ CPL Online)
as the drives perform faster already and then running them in raid 0 to maximise performance.
But is it worth the extra $85 and will I see a Decent performance boost?
 
*EDIT* Yes the HDD will be for laptop/Tablet backups, Movies, Music and i was hoping steam games

then perhaps the two 3TB but in raid 1?
3TB - ST3000DM001
4TB - ST4000DM000
 

I dont have an original haha
I'm running on an old laptop that shuts down from overheating and a 1TB pocket external drive which is on its last legs (thus the need to expand and probably my main motivation to get this set up)
And no steam games installed.

What I meant is, when you copy the files from the laptop and 1TB over, don't delete the original from them right away.
 
But everything from the build looks good. Maybe a few others can chime in with suggestions.
Good luck and have fun.
