I'm looking to have a PC sitting in my living room connected to a 60" Samsung Plasma TV.
Budget: ~$350
Purchase Period: Next Month
Uses: 8/10-bit anime (madVR, LAV, MPC-HC), visual novels, and possibly some less hefty Steam games
I had a spare video card so I had to select an appropriate power supply with the appropriate connectors .
I chose a normal case because I don't need the aesthetics of a HTPC-style case and I do like the extra build room.
I have a spare license for Windows 7 from my now dead laptop
All that is left is approximately $150 to spend on a CPU + Motherboard. However, I have no clue on the AMD line of products as I haven't use one since the Athlon XP series.
I live in Florida, so no Fry's/Microcenter but I can get relatives to get parts for me if needed.
At first, I was thinking Pentium G3220 or the A4-6300 for ~$65, however Fry's has some options with the Sandy/Ivy Bridge line
Intel Core i3 2125 - $49
Intel Core i5 2400 - $50
Intel Core i3-3210 - $61
