Hi folks. Seasons Greetings
I want to upgrade my HTPC with newer components and have a budget of 200 quid.
I already have the following which i will use in the build :
Silverstone LC17 case
LG BD drive
Corsair HX620 psu
Win 7 Home Premium 32bit
TMT 3
So i need new
Motherboard
CPU and cooler
RAM (4gb should be enough for me)
GPU
My budget is 200 quid and i would appreciate any advice on which components to go for.
On the Motherboard side, an option to use Realtek HD Audio would be good if in case i decide not to bitstream and use the onboard analogue audio jacks for a 5.1 set up.
GPU would need to have the ability to bitstream HD audio if required in future.
My current build is using an Intel Q6600 processor (with retail cpu cooler), Gigabyte P35C- DS3R motherboard, DDR2 Ram and an ATI 2600XT gpu.
Any advice please?
