O.O that is so cool O.O

So the CPU/GPU is already on board, and all I'll need is memory? What kind of power supply would I need for something like that. 250watt?

Pretty much. You can even use PSU like Pico.

You can use any PSU, even standard PSU like Seasonic 380 W. I mentioned PICO PSU because I know lot of people who use Zacate want a build as small as it can get, which is what PICO PSU can do.

How well does the CPU run applications that might be a bit resource heavy. If I get this I'm obviously throwing in a Bluray drive which we all know only like 3 programs exist that run those disks which is Total Media Theater, Power DVD and whatever that other one is. One thing they all have in common is they're resource hogs, even on my quad core @3.4ghz they act up, how would they act on a 1.6ghz dual core?

Did you want an ITX build? I Didnt follow the newegg or Gigabyte "requirement." But pickings are slim when looking at ITX stuff....

In reality you can pop any llano CPU in there, I just picked an A4.

PCPartPicker part list
CPU: AMD A4-3400 2.7GHz Dual-Core Processor ($64.08 @ NCIX US)
Motherboard: ASRock A75M-ITX Mini ITX FM1 Motherboard ($89.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($29.99 @ Newegg)
Hard Drive: Crucial M4 128GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($119.00 @ B&H)
Case: Antec ISK 300-150 Mini ITX Desktop Case w/150W Power Supply ($75.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Optical Drive: Lite-On DS-8A8SH DVD/CD Writer ($25.98 @ Newegg)
Total: $405.03
(Prices include shipping and discounts when available.)

And yes the PSU is enough, and it's a quality PSU as well thumb.gif

I'm really weary about using other motherboard manufacturers. After the crap I went through with Asus boards for years and never having an issue when I moved to Gigabyte, I never use anyone else. I decided against the SSD too, I'm going to need quite a bit of space to hold TV shows and the likes so having the need for a lot of storage, an SSD isn't going to be viable.

Motherboards are generally a hit or miss, you have had great experiences with gigabyte, but I know a few people who havent and now wont touch them. I personally love my Asrock board, and I have gotten plenty of my friends to get them too. None that I know of have ever had any problems.

So do you want an ITX build? or is MATX small enough?

Here is a revision to my ITX build
PCPartPicker part list
CPU: AMD A4-3400 2.7GHz Dual-Core Processor ($64.08 @ NCIX US)
Motherboard: ASRock A75M-ITX Mini ITX FM1 Motherboard ($89.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($29.99 @ Newegg)
Hard Drive: Crucial M4 64GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($77.99 @ Adorama)
Hard Drive: Western Digital Scorpio Blue 1TB 2.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive ($109.46 @ Amazon)
Case: Antec ISK 300-150 Mini ITX Desktop Case w/150W Power Supply ($75.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Optical Drive: Lite-On DS-8A8SH DVD/CD Writer ($25.98 @ Newegg)
Total: $473.48
(Prices include shipping and discounts when available.)

I lowered the SSD to a 64GB to be used as a boot drive, the HDD is a 2.5" 5400RPM drive, which is why I kept the SSD

PowerDVD works fine with AMD Zacate, since it can make use of GPU acceleration.

Should work fine with emulator (obviously no PS2 or GameCube emulation).
