new htpc build
Hey guys,

I doubt the 300w PSU will power this build...especially if it is the OEM shuttle one. I wouldn't run it on the 300w. Looks like a good build, however if you don't already have the parts you could use a AMD Athlon II x2 if your board supports it. A 4850 isn't need either, unless you want this to be a /gaming rig aswell.

Yeah, seems a bit overpowered for an HTPC. A high end dual and a low end HD4xxx series will cruise through HD content just fine.

I can't recommend the 4350 enough. Great htpc card.
Unfortunately, it's **** for gaming

I read the 4550 is not terrible for gaming and low power consumer (35w)
