I am going to build a htpc as an all in one to store and play blu ray discs and rips and dvd/music. i dont use netflix but will possibly want itv player and bbci player but having said that am also gonna use mediaportal and xbmc again!
Done some reading of late but cant decide over the above mentioned parts or whether to go with discrete gpu, also i see the i3 3225 is becoming harder to source and a little expensive maybe.
I currently have 8 gb lp corsair ram ddr 3 in 2 sticks a tbs 6981 a 2 tb hdd a ocz vertex 2 64gb ssd a corsair psu 650 tx and a blu ray burner all from a system where the mobo and gpu died
So thoughts please?
also 2 prices of say 180 quid and 350 quid so i can get an all round view of whats what
I have a yamaha receiver htr 3063 with hdmi inputs and output so want to bitstream dts hd etc.
Thanks in advance
just too add been looking at the Silverstone Milo ML03 HTPC Case - Black as i currently have a coolermaster sniper which is way to big for its new purpose
just to also add i recently bought a samsung bd e6100 which is about to be returned for a refund as its playing up already and only had it 11 days lol
