After having build a system with a A6-3500 cpu, and really being in bad luck, I have some reconsiderations...
The system ran fine as long as it lasted (due to too poor quality CASE and intern PSU), ended up blowing the HDMI port on Asus F1A75-i and the TV aswell
I will give you a review in short time... BUT do NOT buy "Linkworld 920", or any other product from Linkwolrd as far as I'm concerned...
The motherboard needs to be replaced and the Linkworld CASE should be squashed by a TANK'!
Now I'm going with a more qualitymined case (most likely silverstone lc19). Using a more expensive case, lead thoughts to more powerful system (can't deny I'm going to game on the HTPC once in a while).
Thinking of getting a a8-3850 or a8-3870k, but I'm concerned about the silverstone's 120w powersupply will do?
The system has 1x 3.5" Seagate 7200rpm 64mb drive, and a 2.5" 5400rpm drive, and sometimes a usbpowered externHD.
This test scares me... http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/dis...html#sect0 (keep in mind that they use a 880w PSU for testing :/)
and the G850 seems quicker and less powerconsuming leaving headroom for a discrete GPU?.
Could I be served better by a system like:
ASRock H67M-ITX/HT - http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=H67M-ITX/HT
Pentium G850 (or similar) with a discrete GPU. - Cheaper motherboard gives money to buy Intel + GPU roughly equal in price to the A8-3850.
6570, 6670 or similar?? Passively cooled or with quite fan.... (Would I gain gaming performance and would the PSU keep up with a setup like that??)
