Hi there,
Its been a while since I build a computer so I thought it would be a good idea to ask for opinions for an HTPC i would like to build. I own a full hd tv (1080p).
My needs :
- play full HD movies (blu rays)
- play games (dawn of war 2, upcoming starcraft 2, diablo 3, and more) and play them using my tv's native resolution
- must be able to use hdmi output for video
My budget
- something between 600$ and 1000$ (taxes included)
This is what my build looks like for the moment
