Hi guys

I have a 42" Samsung Bordeaux LCD at my home, along with DVD player, and surround sound speakers. Now, I wanna utilize the full potential of my HDTV. So I want to watch the 720p HD movies that I download, and watch them on my screen. Now, what I wanna know is, would I be able to build a decent HTPC for around 30k, so that I can transfer the movies I download to it, and watch them on my LCD. I havent ever build an HTPC, so I am not sure what all I need.

Thanks
