Hi there, I was wondering whether the following pc would run an hometheater pc, it's basically just gonna play some youtube, popcorn and some netflix. Intel Celeron 1037U 1.8GHZ CPU 4GB OF DDR3L 128GB SSD It's a Brix from Gigabyte.
Thanks a bunch in advnace

You should be fine. You may not find the most enjoyable experience trying to play 4K resolution, but if you're talking 720/1080p then it'll work perfectly for what you want.

I think I would want something with better graphics. The graphics of that celeron are quite poor, even worse than a Kabini based Athlon 5350.

What's your budget? Ideally look to an i3.
i3-4010U $249 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856164014&cm_re=brix-_-56-164-014-_-Product
i3-6100U $285 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856164031&cm_re=brix-_-56-164-031-_-Product

Of course you then have to buy RAM & an HDD/SSD and OS.....but all depends how much the Celeron versions were going to cost you.

Yeah I would defo go for an I3 if I was able to, sadly I'm limited to the options I mentioned above.
What do you think would be the best buy out of all these cpus?
Thanks!

They'll all serve the purpose, it's just the poorer graphics quality. Should be fine, as I said at 720 or 1080p, but you'll never know 100% until you can try it out.

Out of the options available the N3150 is the only quad-core, and they all have 8th gen graphics.
For the quad-core reason, I'd suggest the N3150 if your options are limited to those.

Where are you shopping, that those are your only options. I know there are quite a few different variations of brix.
