[QUOTE="sambo7, post: 782247, member: 115227"] Hi, I am currently in progress of putting together components for a new HTPC that I would like to run Windows 7 / MediaPortal on. I have never built a HTPC before either so I have done a fair amount of research on the below components. As a bit of a guide I want to spend a little as possible and also want this HTPC to perform the same or better than my Beyonwiz PVR that I currently use. I want to be able to view HDTV and Record/View Live TV at the same time without any stutters etc. I also want this HTPC to be as quiet as possible. I have come up with the following specs (Intel Build and AMD Build). Advice from all of you would be greatly appreciated. [B]HTPC Intel Build - $642[/B] CPU: Intel i3 2100 GPU: GeForce GT 430 Low Profile MB: Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 RAM: GSkill Ripjaws-X 4GB (2x2GB) 1600 TV Tuner: Leadtek WinFast DTV2000DS Dual HD Tuner Case: Antec NSK2480 PSU: Antec 430W Media Remote: Windows MCE Remote [B]HTPC Intel Build - $537[/B] CPU: AMD A8-3850 Quad Core Fusion GPU: Onboard GPU MB: ASRock A75M-HVS RAM: GSkill Ripjaws-X 4GB (2x2GB) 1600 TV Tuner: Leadtek WinFast DTV2000DS Dual HD Tuner Case: Antec NSK2480 PSU: Antec 430W Media Remote: Windows MCE Remote I appreciate the help.
