I am wanting to build an HTPC. I have never built a computer of any type before. I am willing to take the risk. I just need a little bit of help. The following are the items I am purchasing/have to work with:

Case: nMediaPC Steel HTPC 5000B Case

MotherBoard: MSI 880GM-E41 AM3 AMD 880G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Thuban 2.8GHz Socket AM3 125W Six-Core Desktop Processor HDT55TFBGRBOX

OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM

Video Card: SAPPHIRE Flex 100328FLEX Radeon HD 6770 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

Power Supply: COUGAR RS-Series RS650 (CGR R-650) 650W ATX12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply

RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CML16GX3M4A1600C9B

Drive: LITE-ON Black 12X Blu-ray Burner with Blu-ray 3D feature SATA IHBS112-29 - OEM

Hard Drive: SeaGate 2TB

TV Tuner: Hauppage WinTV-HVR-2250 Media Center Kit Dual Tuner PCI Express x1 Interface

Does this all seem compatible? From my research, I think it looks compatible, but it would be great to have someone with experience double check. Also, is this all that I need? I want this machine to hook up to my home network, but I think I want to wire it in, will I need any other parts to do this? Will I need any type of adhesive to assemble any of these parts? Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

If you want some help on your build. You can always pay assassinhtpc a small fee and they will both help you pick components, and also walk through the actual build process with you.

www.assassinhtpc.com

Its a little more hands on than just a forum posting and I think its only like $50.00
