The rig I wish to build will hold about 6 hard drives as a media storage server, and also hook up to my receiver hopefully via integrated graphics to avoid needing a discrete card for $ and cooling reasons(NEEDS to be a budget build). I am curious if outputting 1080p video and 5.1 sound through onboard hdmi would be best done with an i3 haswell or an a10 richland apu? also what ram would be best speed for my needs? 1866?
this rig will not be used for gaming but will be used to play videos in 1080p to reciever that feeds to a 55" 1080p led lcd samsung tv.
are intel integrated 4600 graphics enough to handle this with ease? and would its low watt usage cause it to last longer?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I would consider waiting for a kevari in spring 2014 but I need this rig built by next month most likely
