So I plan on buying a piece here, piece there when I can get a good price and when I have the extra $$ laying around.

Last time I posted I was planning only on SD, but now am moved up into the world of HD.

Currently the only things that are necessary to get the build up and running is the ability to play HD video files, and HD internet shows/etc.

I have been looking at some pretty tempting combos over at NewEgg specifically this one ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.235851 )

Do you think that motherboard is forwards expandable enough?

Also the onboard video should be good for now right?

I also can't decide on a case. Considering I'd spend $185 on all that AR, I have some more $$ to spend on a case.

Any cheap (less $125) cases available?

Thanks in advance.

Instead of buying a bit at a time I strongly suggest you put the money away that you would have spent and when you have enought to buy all of it then you make the buy. You'll certainly get better equipment for the same price of cheaper 6 months down the road.
