hey guys
starting a new HTPC build from scratch.....after reading eskro A8-3850 build thread I came up with this but need some help from you guys with my build
I want this to be able to
1. Play back all my mkv files flawlessly (Movie's and TV Show's)
2. play heavy xbmc skins flawlessly
4. play Emulators (Like PS1, N64, Sega ECT)
5. low power consumption and quiet
Case: Silverstone ML03B
CPU+iGPU: AMD A8-3870K
Mobo: ASRock A75M FM1 AMD A75
SSD: Crucial M4 64GB SSD
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)
PSU: whats the best fanless PSU to get?
CPU cooler: Scythe BIG SHURIKEN 2
HDD: should I get 2TB wd green caviar? I heard thats good for low power consumption
I already own Windows 7 so I can just install by usb......I will store my tv shows, movies and games on the HDD....plus got my router near by so I can just hook up ethernet cable to it for internet
this will be my main media center
what you guys think? any help would be great thanks
