Are you planning on overclocking? I wouldn't overclock in an HTPC.

If you're not going to overclock it, it's going to be the same as any old Pentium. If I were you I would get an APU so at least you get decent graphics.

Asus' H81, B85 and H87/H97 boards can overclock the Pentium G3258. Unless you need some of the advanced features of Z87/Z97 boards, you can def save some cash there.

Intel i5-4690K @ 3.8GHz || Gigabyte Z97X-SLI || 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws X 1600MHz || Asus GTX 760 2GB @ 1150 / 6400 || 128GB A-Data SX900 + 1TB Toshiba 7200RPM || Corsair RM650 || Fractal 3500W
