Hi all,
I've built a couple of PC's in the past but have fallen behind on tech over the past few years. I'm looking to build a HTPC to handle 1080p broadcasts and play bluray (preferably ripped to a HDD). I have a Sony STR-DA3600ES so will need it to pass HD sound via HDMI. I was going to canabalise my old tower running an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual 4800+ 2.51GHz but don't think this will cut it.
What current kit list would you recomend for a dedicated near silent HTPC not for gaming use?
Help
Thanks.
