With losing my older dual core over the weekend I decided it was time to research a replacement. I currently run Pre-Eden with Aero Nox skin. I would like to have something low power but still able to handle any skin with no problem. After reading through some posts on here I came up with the following.
Mobo: Intel BOXDH67CFB3
CPU: Intel Core i3-2100T Sandy Bridge 2.5GHz
Ram: Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin
Parts I have from other system:
HTPC ATX Case
SSD 32gb Drive (was going to install in the old system)
Old PSU 500w
Corsair Hydro H60
The questions that I have:
1. What is the difference between the 2.5ghz and the 3.2ghz i3 processor? I see some people buying either or but not sure which difference there is.
2. Any other suggestions on the motherboard?
3. Im going to try the SB GPU to see how it runs and if need be ill upgrade to a Video card.
Graphics card: With this DEAL I may just purchase it and call it a day.
