I second everything that Andrew said.  Use a NUC as your PC, it's a little
pricier than the ARM based boxes but so much more powerful.  The Logitech
K400 keyboards ROCK, I have a couple of them for various RPi projects.

As for software, your favorite Linux distro + Kodi does pretty much
everything you're asking.
