Hi guys.
Been looking out for a HTPC for quite some time now, and I've finally found a setup that looks quite appealing.
Asus F1A75-I Deluxe
AMD A8-3850 Llano
Antec ISK 300-150
Then getting 4-8gb of ram, probably start out with xbmc live from a USB flashdrive and then getting a small SSD and setting up win7+xbmc ontop of that.
How do you guys think this would handle playing 1080p material(streamed from another pc) and very light gaming(emulators, old school LAN games etc)?
Should I go for an i3 sandy bridge setup instead?
I'm very much digging the remote that comes with the motherboard.. looks to be the absolute best mb for a htpc atm.
So.. Any thoughts?
