I already have an OS and HD and optical drive. How did I do? Looking for a HTPC with the maximum punch, but still full ATX. Backpack capable. I really like taking my computer around, and my laptop just isn't doing it for me anymore with the current generation games coming out. I'm on about a 625ish budget. How's it look?
I would get something like an i3-4150 instead. It only has 2/4 cores/threads compared to the FX6300's 3/6 but it performs way better in single threaded tasks and about the same in multi threaded tasks. It also uses way less power and produces much less heat.
