Nvdia shield vs build?

[Pooherino ツ]

thinking of a building a htpc, or just buy a nvidia shield. The shield is only $200, which comes with the controller. It has game stream which will work great with my pc, I guess I could use steam in home stream but still, I cant really build a system that $200. cus X4 860K with a mobo is $150 alone. Also it wouldnt have wifi and bluetooth, and the living room friendly OS.

He said he would save his money. There's no real need for either of those two options, to him.

Sounds like a shield would fit your needs a lot better. It definitely seems like a better package for the price especially as for a htpc half the budget would go towards a copy of windows

Costs 100 bucks, lets you stream from your main PC to any HDMI device you want.

Yeah, I'd buy a shield TV if I was in your situation, it'll do 4K, which I doubt your X4 860K will
