Can always add in NAS or more internal HDD space, and expand memory if needed. Also thinking about possibly reusing an old POS case I have that has a DVD drive, so could save 30 bucks, im just planning it all out in case I decide not to go that way.
What are you planning for input? Do you have an IR or wireless USB receiver already?

The CPU/GPU you got limits you to a max HDMI resolution of 1920x1200. If you bumped up to the FM2+ chipset you'd be 4K compatible. If that interests you..
