I am looking to build my first HTPC for watching movies, listening to music and playing some older along with newer video games. I would like to spend around $400 but if I need to go over that I am willing to. I already have a copy of Windows 7. I was thinking about going with the Intel i3-3245 processor but wanted to make sure that is enough to run intensive games such as Assassin's Creed. I have a 250 gb 2.5" hard drive from my macbook pro but was wondering if I should get a SSD for my OS and an external drive to store all of my content. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
