Hope its okay to open another thread, since I decided to build a HTPC now.
I decided to build a HTPC now and use it as a mediaplayer. I read a lot about it today, but still couldnt figure out what CPU would be the ideal CPU for 10bit encoded files. I checked some of my files and the biggest bitrate they have seem to be at about 12Mbit/s. Those are also 10bit encoded files.
1. So what CPU would be best used for those? An i3 or one of the AMD FX ones?
2. What would be a good mainboard for one of those?
3. How much RAM would it need if its just used as a videoplayer?
4. What CPU fan would keep it quiet?
5. How much W should the PSU have?
The biggest question though is about the CPU. I really am not sure what is best used for 10bit files.
Thanks for any suggestions and help
