First Time Build - Media - with room to grow

Hi,

I am going to attempt to build my first PC. The primary usage would be to backup DVDs and BluRays (and watch on LCD TV), secondary would be used for some gaming.

I don't have a complete build yet but here are some thoughts:

Case and PS

CPU
Is AMD or Intel better for this type application? Any suggestions?

Mobo
What Mobo would match up well with the above CPU?

DVD / BluRay

Graphics Card
Suggestions?

HDD

RAM
Recommendations?

OS
Vista http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16832116480

Any comments / help / suggestions appreciates

this CPU should provide you with your need...

the onboard graphics are great on this board but I do not know what games you play.

the case and power supply are great but maybe a little over kill? if you really want to game then we can simply change the recommendation. example... newer games..I would go with a p45 chipset and a better card like the 4830. I would also recommend a different foxconn board but the same memory unless you are going to overclock.
