Another HTCP Build
#1
Hi all,

I recently built my first HTCP by converting my old pc with an ssd and a 2tb internal.
However today I was given an old pc, I am now thinking of putting the 2tb and ssd in this one instead despite it being lower specs. This is due to the motherboard being micro atx, I would very much like to pick up a HTCP case for it.

However I am concerned about the specs, as 1080p playback is a must, along with ability to run sabnzbd+ and download and extract.

The system is as follows
Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E6400 2.13ghz
2gig DDR2 Ram
Asus P58W-LA motherboard
Geforce 7500 LE 256mb (this could be a problem?)

So will I need to replace the graphics card at least?

The processor should be plenty and you should be able to replace that graphics card with something like a Radeon 5450 that you can get at Amazon for $19.99 after rebate (ASUS Radeon HD5450 Silent 512 MB GDDR2 Low Profile Graphics Card EAH5450) and be good to go. I'm sure there's an NVidia alternative but I'll let someone else who's more familiar with those choices suggest that one.
