Hello guys, I'm planning my new HTPC build for my cinema room and I'm looking for some sugestions from more experienced HTPC builders.
My Requiements are:
Gaming in full HD
Playing Blurays
Using a pcie TV card
Remote control for the PC
Running as a file server/streaming device for my home network.
The parts I already Own are:
GTX 660TI from Gigabyte( the 3gig version)
Fractal Node 605 Case
Asus AC Wifi card
I already checked and The graphics card fits easily within the Fractal case.
The suggestions I need are on the CPU/mobo combo.
The MB needs to be matx in order to install 2 pciex1 cars and a graphics card. Preferably one pciex1 behind the graphics card and 2 in front of it to dont block the enormous cooler on my GTX.
Full Atx cant be used since i won't be able to install a bluray.
From Cpu i expect it to dont bottlenect my old graphics, at the smallest budget possible. I'd appriceate if it would be some of the new haswells with lower TDP. Except if their perfomance is going to be too weak for gaming. I'm currently gaming on this GTX660 Ti with a 3770K and I hope i can achieve seame results on a lower clocked CPU, preferably low TDP I5/i3.
I know my mesaage is kind of chaotic, but hope U guys as advaned builders can help me out with my very first HTPC Build
PS. Forgot to mention I care very much about the sound quality, since I'm listening to music in FLAC alot, and Cd's aswell.
