Im looking at building a nas/htpc but my main issue is that i cant seem to pick a cpu because im not sure what to look for, i was leaning towards just a celeron g1840 because i dont plan on doing any transcoding, just transfering files between computers and using this pc really as mass storage, all content thatll be watched will be on a laptop or another computer so i dont think i need a strong processor because no transcoding is needed, i just want to be able to share movies from one place instead of having a bunch of external hard drives everywhere, would this cpu fit my needs?

I recently built a SFF HTPC (in my signature)

 

I went with the G3258 for the CPU, its a great little chip which is cheap.

My Rigs:

Gaming/CAD/Rendering Rig
Case:
 Corsair Air 240 , CPU: i7-4790K, Mobo: ASUS Gryphon Z97 mATX,  GPU: Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970, RAM: G.Skill Sniper 16GB, SSD: SAMSUNG 1TB 840 EVO, Cooling: Corsair H80i PCPP: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/b/f2TH99SFF HTPC
