I have just found a i3 2105 + GA-H61N-USB3 for £40 more then a6 3500 + ASRock A75M-ITX. I have bought the Antec 300-65 case just waiting for it to come and was thinking if the i3 2105 is the way to go in the long run

I have bought the Antec 300-65 case just waiting for it to come and was thinking if the i3 2105 is the way to go in the long runI have to say that Intel 3.1GHz+HD3000 will be a sweet HTPC.......Intel i3-2105 is compares to AMD A8-3850 and A8-3870K: here is a review on it "A8-3870K vs i3-2105".....it'll get things (video editing, blu-ray transcoding, etc) done quicker.....

when we have the A6-3500 thats really cheap and does it all flawlessly!

It can be said the same thing about automobile....a Geo metro can get us from point A to point B.....but try to tell that to the Beamer, Porche, etc owners......

many years will pass...
