[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 959068, member: 76888"] Yeah actually the i3-3225 is fine, it's worth it over the i3-3220... for some reason I thought the CPU you listed wasn't the cheapest 3rd gen i3. You can also consider AMD Trinity A4-5300 A6-5400 both are also good HTPC CPUs (Don't get the AMD Llano eg. A4-3XXX or A6-3XXX) The AMD CPUs generally have slightly faster graphics and generate slightly more heat than the intel ones. You can go with a cheaper motherboard eg. B75 and for RAM I'd get 2x4GB of cheap DDR3 1300 CL9 (don't need expensive RAM), I'd go for slower 8gb rather than faster 4GB any day. [/QUOTE]
