i am re-building my home server and looking for a lower power alternative to my Q8400 Quad-Core 95watt CPU
i am looking at either
i3-3220 3.3GHz = $119
Intel Pentium G2020 2.9ghz = $59
Intel Pentium G2120 3.1ghz = $75
Intel Celeron G1610 2.6ghz = $44
i am planning on using maybe with a z77 mobo as there is one that has enough usb 3.0 ports i need
as you can see there is significant price difference between them but i would pay more only if i have to though to get enough muscle to streaming my 1080p movies over my gigabit network to xbmc htpc in other room and setup nzbdrone and sabnzbd to download
that is all i plan on doing with it and to have storage for all my shows and movies
which would be a good choice for me to use will be running 24/7 so need to good with power
