Hello Friends, Well This is the Situation, I have an Old Computer and I will Like to turn it into a HTPC/Nas:



I will Like to know if this can work? Also I will like to change the Graphic Card cause the actual Gpu doesn't have hdmi port, so is there any Really cheap Graphic Card for this kind of setup? Is only for HTPC/NAS no gaming or anything else.

Also If you have any tips (Software, Hardware, Setup) to make this I really Appreciate.

I Hope You can Help Me.

Thank you

for htpc uses? yes. this should work fine. if you want to change out the 9500, then a $20 5450/6450 should work

Can I use it for Htpc and nas at the same time? No Problem? My Motherboard can use that gpu? That Graphics card can Handle BLu ray Rips and stuff like that?? and the future maybe 4k??

Thank you For your answer :)

oh, a cheap gpu won't handle 4k. but 4K is more marketting ploy than real right now, and proby will be so for at least 5 years.

1080p playback is fine though
