Hi
After my problems with the TV, I have decided its not worth shelling out for a new AMP that does HDMI and DTS-HD. Hence to get around the lack of optical out on the shuttle, I've just bought myself a mobo with optical, on it and am putting a i5-5200 onto it (its mini itx btw).
I know its probably overkill. Is this a better choice than say an E-350 solution? I want good performance but a good frame rate. I know if the i5 isn't able to do it in windows 7, I can put a good card that will, whilst the shuttle wasn't upgradeable.
Is the i5 a good idea?
I can probably sell the shuttle afterwards and it not have cost me too much more. ebuyer have a nice mini itx case for £30.
