Hello forums,
After building my main rig, I've been thinking of making a small HTPC with an ITX case for some light gaming (up to CS:GO, Heroes of the Storm, maybe Eliteangerous) to put under the TV. For specs, I've been thinking about the Pentium g3258 from Intel, however motherboards in ITX size that support cpu overclocking pass the 150$ mark (at least here in Italy...), so I've been thinking about AMD APUs. How are they, and could they work for the system I'm looking for?
For RAM, i've got a stick of 8gb ddr3 1600 somewhere from my old system, so I might recycle that. For a budget GPU I was considering an ASUS Radeon r7 360, what are your thoughts on it? I've never built an AMD based pc so I don't really know the components.
Also, what cases would you guys suggest? Could a Thermaltake Core v1 work?
Thanks in advance for the help.
