[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 1020085, member: 76888"] They are both good. Personally I'd go with the AMD because it is cheaper (Also I've always liked AMD video cards). I'd only get the Intel if I was going with mITX with weak or passive cooling. I think AMD are better HTPC video cards. Buy the cheapest Ram you can find as long as it is 1600+ and dual channel (dual channel is important for onboard GPU) Since your getting an SSD I'd get enough ram to cover a timeshifting ram drive. eg. 2x4GB (min) There may be a difference in 3D capabilities between the 2 chip-sets, that is something I know nothing about, but if there was a difference then that could be the decider.
