As almost everybody here, I'm planning to build a new htpc (and to spend some money on something I don't really need)
At the moment I'm using the following setup with a Silverstone µATX case:
AMD Athlon X2 250e + GeForce GT 430
Even after reading this thread I'm not quite sure whether I should go for the i3 2105 or the a6 3500.
I'm going to use it as a dedicated htpc (no gaming, no encoding and no webserver or something). I'm only interested in XBMC (+PVR in the future) running perfectly smooth with the best audio/video quality I can get and the least hassle when setting it up.
a6 3500 I don't have experience with OpenElec...
but if it plays fine then yes it will be a good build.....
If not keep what you have and lets try to make it as silent as possible.......
