lol? He said this is for steam in home streaming... A pentium ought to be able to do that...

 

[logainofhades]

I missed that, I saw streaming and thought game streaming. :lol: I would probably want at least an i3. Just do not care for those pentiums. An AMD APU would be a good choice for such a system, probably, as well.

That pentium AE performs better than an i3 and is unlocked...

 

[zeyuanfu]

Yes, but the Pentium produces more heat than an i3. It also requires a Z97 board and an aftermarket cooler to overclock.

 

[Demosthenest]

Something along this line should do it. Throw in a gtx 750 and it should even run games on it's own.

Why do you take an apu with a 750ti? I'm curious, what's the point of the apu then?

 

[logainofhades]

I forgot to remove it. I was in the middle of another build for a coworker and changed it. Good catch.
