Have a spare R7 360 and just got a nice 50" TV. Time to build a streaming computer! I'd like peoples recommendations. I've made a few myself, but I am just looking for more ideas. There's so many parts, you never know if you might have missed one.
Some stuff to know.
-Budget ~$300-350 USD before tax. Prefer to keep it closer to $300 unless the benefit is big enough.
-Do want an SSD, not HDD. 64GB is fine, more if it'll fit the budget.
-Streaming on 1080p screen. Occasional web browsing and torrenting. No heavy processing needed.
-Need 430w+ for the R7 360.
-Mini-ITX required. Need it to be as small as possible!
-4GB of ram in 1 slot is probably fine. Can't see needing any more than that, unless you think so.
-Prefer amazon, since I have prime.
-Wifi not needed.
-Windows not needed.
Thanks =)
