Hello all,
This will be my first build so I wanted to post it here to see what you all think. I have been lurking around the forum for a while and gathered as much info I could to hopefully point me in the right direction.
My intent is to use this as a HTPC.
So far....

TV Card-MSI TV Tuner Card- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815127008&cm_re=tv_cards-_-15-127-008-_-Product
I am planning on running Win7 64-Bit and Linux Os. Is the 64 Gb SSD a decent size for running both? I know most files and docs will be stored on the HDD so I am thinking 64 Gb will be plenty.
I appreciate any feedback!
