Hey everyone, I'm looking for a full build for something to fit under my TV or next to for Streaming my Steam games from my main gaming rig or playing basic games on it (IE Hearthstone)

How far is your gaming machine from your TV?

Other side of the house, but both would be connected via ethernet so distance isn't an issue.

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Stream Streaming, watching netflix/other streaming services/ playing simple games like Hearthstone
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? Total budget is 200-300
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible. Orlando, FL
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you'll need. The barebones pc, (most come with a processor) in addition mSata SSD and RAM
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model. Not reusing
6) Will you be overclocking? No
7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it? Will be on a 60in Plasma TV 1080p
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Immediately
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video (as a backup or main GPU)? UEFI? etc. Doesn't really matter
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit? I have both Windows 7 and 8 32/64
11) How much space are we talking about that's underneath your TV? Don't know the exact space, but the barebox box I posted is about the size I want, something that would fit into a laptop bag

LOL! I iz a noob.

Not possible with your budget: Just adding the RAM alone to that Gigabyte Brix will push the total to around $300. Adding in a decent mSATA SSD will push the budget up to ~$375.

That Box wasn't nessaraly the one I wanted, just showing something like it. I found this combo

Box

SSD

Power Cable

RAM

$224 - What do y'all think?

 

[Dangman]

I think it's going to be quite underpowered.

 

[Linkz]

Well I could up the bill to about 400, but I'm trying to avoid the 700-1000 price range since I'll basically building a mid grade full gaming PC at that point.

 

[Linkz]

Any suggestions with increased budget?

 

[450]

Why not just use a big hdmi cable?

I highly recommend getting at least 8GB of RAM for better performance and to account for the fact that onboard video will use some of that RAM. Most of those parts are for this BF weekend so best decide quick what you want to do.

With the above setup, you're getting a serious jump in performance over those NUCs.
