hi guys, i want to build a android gaming console. When i say build I mean build a pc install android(x86?) and connect it to my tv. i also don't know what category this should go in.

first of all, can androidx86 run normal android apps? if not can i buy arm processors or motherboards with arm processors installed? i would like to be able to install a dvd drive, a gpu(preferably this one http://item.jd.com/672306.html)(by the way, i am buying parts in china) and 4GB of ram. i also need to decide if i want a 60GB ssd, a 120GB ssd or a 1TB HDD. if androidx86 can run normal android apps i am looking at two motherboards( all mini atx and made by biostar):

(Intel Celetron quad core J1900 (2.0 GHz) onboard) this only has SATAII

http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/introduction.php?S_...
(AMD quad core A4-5000(1.5 GHz) onboard) i would crossfire the GPU with the internal graphics

is this plausible/possible?
Thanks in advance for any help!

There are no PC drivers for android
