I am looking for a low-cost build for a media PC that would be connected to my main TV, which is only 1080P capable, and would be directly connected to an ethernet cable. It would be used for the following:
Access media stored locally and in Onedrive (music and HD videos)
Use In-Home Streaming feature from Steam as a client (main gaming rig is somewhere else in the house)
Stream HD videos
Read Blu-ray Discs
Run full Windows 10, Chrome and Steam of course
Is an i3 CPU sufficient/too much?
Do I need a video card or integrated graphics would be enough?
Is 8GB RAM too much? Should I go to 4GB?
