[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 977067, member: 76888"] I don't think you should build an HTPC using the Intel G620, as the integrated graphics are slow and really outdated. AMD A4-5300 should be similar price, and it has integrated graphics that are light years ahead of the G620. You will need to change the motherboard to a socket FM2 motherboard (eg. ASRock FM2A75M-ITX or similar) If your only building a tvserver and not a MP client, then the graphics don't matter, so you can go for the G620 which uses slightly less power/generates less heat. As far as CPU speed goes, I'm not sure which CPU would be faster (G620 vs A4-5300) If you wanted good integrated graphics and a faster CPU speed you could look at the AMD A6-5400, AMD A8-5600, AMD A10-5800, Intel I3-3225 [/QUOTE]
