Hello everyone
I want to build a HTPC for videoplayback and XBMC stuff (the whole shabang) as well as some light gaming (mainly dota 2 and snes/psx/ps2/Gamecube/wii Emulation. Not looking for high performance gaming, just those things should run smoothly on 1080p)
I was thinking of going with the Windows #5 build running a dual boot Windows/Elec setup.
For the case, I was thinking of swapping the Antec for a Chieftec Flyer FI-01W)
Problems I foresee:
The Hd 4000 graphics won't cut it for Dota and Wii emulation
What <100$ GPU could you recommend for my needs? I assume I would need a low profile GPU since everything else won't fit in the case?
Is the 200 Watt PSU strong enough for the I3 + dedicated GPU?
If there's any other thing you would change (cpu/case) I'm open for suggestions.
I'm open for any recommendations. Thanks in advance.
