  1. Sorry..I'm fresh here...I wasn't tryting to quote your comment. I'm not sure what went wrong.
  2. If you go integrated cpu, you're just buying a laptop. For home viewing I would just get a used laptop, hook it up to tv and stream. $50 and you can find i3 or even i5 laptop which will be more then enough to run 1080p content. Sorry...That was my mistake...I should have said: 1080p videos. I didn't refer to games...This PC is not meant for gaming at all...I'd recommend an A8-7650K at LEAST for that.
  3. (Before you read about the pricing and the availability...I'm from Hungary, so prices may vary) I often get asked to suggest a budget computer build for home use, and I usually suggest an AMD A4 based build (Usually the cheapest one available). When you read that you're like: OMG! One of the worst available processors right now... But it's actually not that bad. 2 cores/threats and an integrated graphics processor that's able to play 1080p. From the feedback I've got it's more than enough for home use. Where I live...You can buy an FM2+ A88X Asus Mobo for about 55$ and pair it with an AMD A4-4000 that costs 30$. If you put it together that's only about 85$. However I'm ALWAYS tempted when I see Integrated CPU motherboards... Such as the Asrock J1900M motherboard, with a 4 core Intel Celeron CPU clocked at 2GHZ onboard...For only around 65$. I know we lose CPU/APU upgradability with the Embedded CPU motherboard, but usually the buyer of such budget computer consider 4 cores a bit overkill already, seeing how they were fine with their E4300 s775 chips for so long. So, what do you say? Was I right suggesting the FM2+ socket mobo with an FM2 APU? Or maybe I should have told them to get that Asrock one?
