• Need help on building a media/file storage server

Just looking to create my own NAS type server for home use, and need some help. I have just purchased this case: [IMG]http://tbx.me/uYF.V.png[/IMG] The Cooler Master Elite 120 Advanced I'm trying to look for a Mini-ITX motherboard-CPU(with cooling) combination which is not too expensive, but that would be able to handle Media streaming/File transfers and maybe a small amount of torrenting. Been looking at ones [URL="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gigabyte-GA-H61N-D2V-Socket-LGA1155-Intel-H61-Express-DDR3-mini-ITX-Motherboard/310729527083"]like this[/URL], but not sure if this is suitable? I don't want to spend too much, but don't want to cheap out so it's terrible either. This is where I'm lost as I'm not sure what would suit this use, I've been looking at Atoms as I don't exactly need anything like an i5/i7. Any help would be appreciated!
What's your budget?
I don't really want to spend to much, not including the case price - about £200/$300 I can stretch a bit further if it's worth it.
