First off thank you to the developers and mod staff for making this amazing piece of software and having a great community here.
So school money is about to come in and i want to finally build my HTPC. i have been doing a ton of research and i am trying to figure out the best build for the least amount of money. i have been looking at the AMD A10 which i know is more than capable of running XBMC but my worries are on the emulation side. my desktop as of now is running a i7 2600k with a radeon 6950 in it with 16 GB of ram. So it plays anything up to the wii emulators. I have heard so many mix feelings about apu's but if course Intel is far more expensive route than AMD. My budget is roughly around 500 dollars no more than 600.
suggestions?
