Htpc for $350 around

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
Hey could someone help me pick components for an htpc out to build for my friend? He wants to watch Netflix, movies off his hard drive, and stream some other shows.

Thanks!

Wow thanks that looks awesome. But how powerful is the gpu in that CPU? Can it handle 1080p content from a hard drive and a website like twitch tv?


Thank you once again!

Wow, I've really been out of the loop. I wasn't aware that stuff was this powerful and this cheap yet. I guess I should have been...

Thank you once again!

The iGPU is the 6670HD and its very powerful for what it is. You can even pair a low profile 6670 with it in CrossFire to get performance close to the 7750:

EDIT: or this one for 54$:

If u want to save even more go with the a6 5400k. I have it and can play @1080p/bluray no problem. Its more than enough for a HTPC. Put the saved money in a 2tb hard drive.
