Need help with HTPC build
#1
Hey guys,

heres my current usage of HTPC:

1) streaming of movies from NAS(through gigabit ethernet)
2) light surfing of web (no games)

i plan to use the bitfenix prodigy case , and would like to run openelec xbmc until i have more funds to get windows os and upgrade gpu etc etc to use as a desktop gaming machine

1) Whats the most "upgradable" h77/z77 m-itx mobo to get? because i plan to upgrade in the future, and bring it out to living room for desktop gaming use
2) Do i need a graphics card if i use the P-G620 cpu?

I stream 1080p movies with dts audio 5.1

I plan to put in a 60 gb vertex 4 ssd for os, so it can boot really quickly and be relatively quiet

Cheers

with h77 you can just use it, with z77 you can also overclock. for 3d playback and gaming you need a dedicated graphics card. and maybe you get with intel igp the 24p bug.
