I thought price did not matter bluray? I did read a lot of you suggesting the i3-3225 and thought you where going to build one.

Basically everybody is paying all that extra $$$ to get the better iGPU but what does that really buy you? If you are using it for video/media playback then the answer is nothing. If you want to game on the iGPU then Intel is not the best option. If you absolutely must have Intel and want to game then IMO you are better off going for a Pentium G850 + a mid-range graphics card (i.e. GT 440) rather than an i3-3225. You are getting way more capability for maybe $10 more.(2012-10-16, 22:29)eskro Wrote: I would love to see you have an i3-3225 HTPC since you suggested it heavily to people here.....I thought price did not matter bluray?
