Hi there,
I have decided to build a HTPC for my living room. For few months I have been looking into Intel setup with a Intel Core i3-3225 but recently my friend told me about the new AMD A10-6800 or AMD A10-6800K that are better for HTPC.
i'm currently puzzled on witch side i should go for.
What im looking to do on this HTPC is: watching blue rays, downloading movies, music, internet, Autocad and Revit. Also time to time i would like to play little games.
I'm also looking into low power consumption and quiet operation.
please let me know your opinions
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: next week
BUDGET RANGE: 500-800
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: HTPC(blu-ray, 1080p mkv playback, bitstreaming of HD Audio), light gaming
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Canada
OVERCLOCKING: No.
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: No.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080
thank you
