I have enough components around to build a computer around an h61 motherboard. I may sell it or I may use it to replace a HTPC that I currently use that has an AMD 3800+ cpu with a Nvidia GT 210.
I am wondering if for HTPC, light video, 1080p playback, large file transfer, internet browsing, light gaming use
Would I A) Be just fine with a Pentium G620/630
B) Spend Extra $60ish dollars for the I3 2120
C)Keep the AMD HTPC setup b/c the intel setup wont make any difference
D)Buy Pentium put savings over I3 into discrete GPU
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or personal experience with this stuff.
