I finally got the parts to start my own HTPC after using desktop and laptops, getting annoying.
I've got:
Zotac 880g mini itx am3 board
6gb/s ssd
16gb ddr3 ram
(free) Phenom ii B93 unlocked X4 925 +oc
Antec htpc case.
My issue?
I want to not only dual boot openelec and win 10,but I run serviio and play 10gb+ blurays streaming from a home server.
Something is nagging me to buy a 1045t to replace the B93 as benchmarks only put the x6 near a 2nd gen i5.
I have a few things I could ebay.
If you were in my situation, what else would you need or want with this configuration for an acceptable HTPC that doesn't have any issue doing whatever I need?
1045t vs B93?
Add a discrete gpu?
The wifi card sits in a pcie slot, can I use that slot for something else?
