i have a 120w pico psu,4gb of ram and a ssd,but the dilemma is have is
Do i go AMD? or stick to intel because i been mainly using openelec

well, AMD's E350 platform now works with OpenELEC
so, you could have a nice HTPC with a low cost.

Thank you esko,would you say the A6-3500 is the best bet?
Stick on a low quiet cpu cooler ?

AMD E350 platform for OpenELEC is good.
