Hi!
I have a decent prebuilt PC, but I'm not very satisfied with some of its components, so I want to rebuild it. After that, I will have lots of "spare parts" and I thought I'd build a HTPC for my brother. He has an LG 3D fullHD TV, and a 5.1 speaker set. I want to build a PC, which has enough power to smoothly run 1080p 3D blue-ray iso files, and it's quiet. Consumption is not the most relevant thing, but he may let it run over night for downloading, due to his slow internet connection.
So, the question is: whats the best and cheapest cpu that can do, what I described above.
It will be installed next a to a GTX650E 1Gb, 500W PSU, and 8Gb RAM, no SSD. Some games may be played on it, but older, not so demanding ones, so its not priority at all.
I'm thinking about 100-200$ for the cpu and motherboard. The case can support mATX or ATX boards, and if the board doesn't have 5.1 jack output, I'll need a soundcard also.
Thanks!
