Need advise if this is good Hardware for XBMC + WMC? - GFOviedo - 2014-08-13

I'm trying to come up with a decent and inexpensive HTPC. I've got a 120 SSD drive I will be using, and a copy of WIN 7 64 bit. This is a little bit over my budget.

Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I was also thinking of going with an Intel NUC i3, but I wasn't sure if I can use my 120 GB SSD drive with it.

Perhaps you should show an other link, without a newegg account nothing will be shown.

Working on it thanks.

This is a decent build for the price. NUC takes only mSata so you cannot use your SSD out of the box. It might be possible to use it as an external storage drive (and a cheaper mSata as boot drive) but I'm not so sure on that.

Would this set up work well for Win 7 + WMC + XBMC?
