[QUOTE="seijirou, post: 836632, member: 118226"] I've had my nose in google searches for a long time now trying to come up with gear for a client. It's been hard to find some clear data on what works. I can build something (and I'd probably prefer to build something unless there's a large price point difference) and was first looking at maybe a [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115094"]35watt i3 w/ HD2000[/URL] or [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115090"]65watt i3 w/ HD3000[/URL] lga1155, but I've heard that the intel HD2/3000 have issue with incorrect framerates? The i5 is all expensive! Another option then would be the AMD llano which i can get with integrated [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103957"]6410D[/URL] or [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103951"]6530D[/URL] at 65watts or less.. or more cpu cores with [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819106004"]6530D[/URL] or [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103994"]6550D[/URL] at 100watts.
