Hey all, as the title states im looking to build a HTPC for my 1080p content. Plan on running XBMCbuntu. Ive gone intel cause i feel its stronger and with the GPU i should avoid the stuttering problems that i heard occur with the i3's. The media will be stored on the HDDs until i commit to building a seperate media server. Its alot higher specced than most i see so please let me know if you think its overkill.
