Hi all,
Im looking at building a HTPC i have built gaming Pc in the past, but want to do this one on a very low budget. Basically I want is use it for Streaming videos etc.. No gaming at all, so this would be XBMC, Netflix, Hulu. I may be playing Blu ray Iso's so probably will need 3D.
I have come up with the following CPU and MB so far not sure if its good enough for the above etc..., memory i will get 4GB as i will run windows, HDD im going to get SSD, for the Case not sure what the best option is for this i have found many cheap ones with PSU but not sure if ok or not, any recommendations would be great.
CPU - AMD A-Series A6 3670K Black Edition Quad-Core Processor - ~60 http://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-A-Series-Qua...uctDetails
Motherboard - ASRock A75M-HVS A75 Hudson - ~£43 http://www.tekheads.co.uk/product/ASRock...40745.html
Memory - Can source for ~£25
HDD - Can Source for ~ £50
CASE - Have found lots in the £30 to £40 price range with PSU any recommendations would be great
Cheers,
Steven
