[QUOTE="mbuzina, post: 642461, member: 12382"] Hi Turrican2, in my opinion (there are many here on the forum) it is sufficient to have a Core i3 to power your media center (it decodes 1080p and will even de-interlace 1080i, which is even harder). If you go with that option, your power supply is way to big. A power supply should have approx. 2 times the needed wattage. For the i3 I am planning to use in my htpc I initially wanted to use a be quiet 350 Watt PSU, but other forum participants told me even less is OK (200-250 should be OK, the whole system should draw less than 80 Watts when running).
