Now here is what i am looking to get
Support for 3 D and all 1080p files and maybe 4k later
Support for 7.1 thru Onkyo receiver and HD Audio
able to run certain Home Automation programs
Not really for gaming as I have a ps3, but able to do so if desired
Do i need a Sound Card and which one will better support HD Audio
Do i need a high end video card and which one will support best video play back with no issues
Is the CPU too much for now even though i plan to keep this thing for at least 5 years.
Hey Guys quality is the biggest factor as i don't want to have trouble playing a 10 GB files, But i don't have unlimited income .Sad
Any help and Advise will be great. Thanks
