Need some help building my own HTPC !!! N/F

[Lunker777]

Hey everyone

 

I want to build a home theater PC .... everything I find on the intranets is dated.... like back to 2007-8 ...

 

I guess I want some direction on the compontents I should be looking at and that are compatable with each other

 

Budget is around $1000

 

I want to be able to do EVERYTHING a modern home theater PC should do... blu ray, blu ray burning, TV/recording, I have a pretty large collection of DVD's starting to build up and I would like to be able to have them stored on the computer so they are avaialble all the time !... I want to be able to use it for streaming music and videos online.... basically everything you would do on a normal computer... just with home theater capabilities HDMI/7.1&5.1 surround... Etc.

 

If anyone can help or point me in the direction of a good computer shop.... not like future shop or big box stores... that would be great !!

 

Thanks !
