Hi,
I am looking to build a new HTPC frontend (it will be connected to a server running Argus TV and Media Browser 3 so all it needs to do is connect to the server and play back media).
It will be running Windows 7 and Mediaportal and I will also use it to watch Sky Go and Netflix.
This build is going to sit in my living room so I want to make sure that it is flawless for playback but not needlessly power hungry.
I was thinking of an i3-4330 for the HD4600 graphics but now am I starting to think that for my purposes, this might be overkill. Perhaps a G3220 might do just as well.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
