Hi,
I'm starting to build my own htpc. You experts could give me some advices of my build
My usage is 1080p movies, hdtv + recording, music and hd internet stream. No games. Win 7 64bit + xbmc for software. Bitstreaming audio to avr. I would like that all skings, plugins would work smoothly in xbmc.
Here's what I've been thinking,
Case: Silverstone Milo Ml03
HDD: Some good ssd for os
Memory: 4Gb
Psu: Nexus 350w, nx-3500
Should I go with i3 2100t sandy bridge or just i3 2100? I read that there is some problems with sandy bridge?
Which mAtx motherboard should I choose if using i3 2100t? Which one has good compability?
Which one is better for gpu. Nvidia GT 430 or Radeon HD 6450? Stable for my use?
Do I have to use external gpu for my use?
Any suggestions for different case? Can only be max 10.5 cm in hight.
Thanks for advance
