I am at the point of re-building my HTPC. I want to rebuild my system with a simple i3 LGA1150 (Haswell) processor and a decent corresponding MB.
For the MB, I am looking at the Asrock Z87M Extreme 4
My reasons for this board are
For your consideration, this is a dedicated HTPC in a media server rack. I have no interest in anything beyond streaming tv/movies from my NAS to this XBMC box. I'll be reusing my SSD and current RAM. I have no interest in wifi.
Additionally, I am considering using OpenELEC this time around, so if I have missed anything that would prevent OE from working, I'm all ears!
Thanks!
