Hello!
After perusing eskro's great suggestions, I specced this HTPC for up to 1080p 3D movies and medium gaming needs (Steam: Skyrim, Just Causse 2, Super Meat Boy, Alan Wake, ..). Unfortunately I am still very confused even after following this kind of discussions for months... Please help me!
Case: Antec ISK 310-150, 150W, Mini-ITX
Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-H77N-Wi-Fi, H77
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570, 4x 3.40GHz or Intel Core i7-3770S, 4x 3.10GHz
CPU-Cooler: Scythe Kozuti (SCKZT-1000)
RAM: Kingston HyperX Plug n Play DIMM Kit 8GB PC3-12800U CL9 (DDR3-1600) (KHX1600C9D3P1K2/8G)
System Drive: ADATA Premier Pro SP900 64GB, 2.5", SATA 6Gb/s (ASP900S3-64GM-C)
Storage Drive: Western Digital Green Mobile 2000GB, SATA 6Gb/s (WD20NPVX)
OS: Microsoft: Windows 8 Pro 64Bit
* Will it all fit?
* Is the 150W PSU strong enough?
* Is it sufficiently quiet?
* Will I be able to do a little gaming?
Thanks for your help!
