Hello,
Initially I went with this configuration, as my initial plan of a budget HTPC slowly change to all-purpose and I upgraded the parts but now I realize that the mobo has only 2 SATA 6Gb/s ports.
This is my first time building a pc so I'm not sure what would each of the SATA port be for.
My question is - is the ASRock H81M sufficient for my purpose, or which mobo should I upgrade to? There's no fixed budget, just trying to find a cheap one..
Usage is HTPC/media server/light gaming, connected to TV.
Thanks!
EDIT: Would a ASRock H87M be better? It would be $20 more than the H81M.
