I am putting together a first HTPC.
I am having trouble on a integrated CPU/GPU either AMD series A or a Intel i3/i5
1. This is mainly for playing/ripping DVD/BLU-RAY, Youtube, VOD, and other video on demand (like hulu etc)..
2. Gaming is nice. but secondary I already have a dedicated gamer PC.
3. Price is important, on a budget.
4. Noise and power consumption also count I dont want somethign too noisy or explodes my power bill.
Basically I get that Intel's are more expensive but is better for CPU inferior GPU, but consumes more power. AMD is a superior GPU inferior CPU, cheaper but consumes more power.
Which is right for me?
