Please help with new build - eCCoMaNia - 2012-11-16 Hello, I'm going to build system for xbmc and wanted to ask you about hardware choice, firstly I'm going to use xbmc linux or windows, It really doesn't matter which OS, and I want to use xbmc for 1080p videos and also I have lg 3d tv and want to watch some 3d movies also and some web based flash or html5 videos like youtube and streaming websites. Also I need optical 5.1 output support. will this hardware be enough for all the things I want ? mobo : gigabyte mini itx GA-H61N-USB3 cpu: Intel PENTIUM G860 3.0GHZ 1155PİN 3MB VGA850 BOX or Sandy Bridge Pentium G630, their price is close to each other. ram; 4gb DDR3 ram hdd :60gb sandisk ssd hdd I will build case myself and what kind of power supply I need ? thanks in advance RE: Please help with new build - DavidT99 - 2012-11-16 For 3D support you will need an Intel i3 CPU. Alternatively there are the AMD Llano or Trinity APU's, I recommend one of the A6 variants as a minimum, but you will have to also change the motherboard.

I agree with bluray, but would prefer 3220t over a 3220 in a mini itx build.
