hi guys, i'm planning on building a budget HTPC and below is the parts i have decided on. please let me know what you guys think. i noticed that in the guides a separate video card is added in all the builds. will this cpu w/ gpu power be good enough to run 1080p mkvs? that is all i'll be needing.
-Intel G620
-Biostar H61MHB HDMI motherboard http://www.amazon.com/Biostar-H61MHB-Int...768&sr=1-1
- hec case w/ 300 watt psu http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6811121100
- 4gb ddr3 g skill ram
- old 500 gb 2.5'' seagate HDD.
also i am currently using my macbook and running plex as an htpc front end. i don't really search for the metadata by each episode and movie etc. is there an option on xbmc where i can just view files in a folder and play them without having to sort them into TV Shows/Movies?
thanks for your help.
