Nice, I have been looking to build an HTPC/Emulation system for quite a while now, for 1080p HEVC movies/shows in Kodi to save some space, emulation up to PS2 possibly Wii U, Steam library etc. Is a build like this with only dual core suitable? Clock speed matters more than cores for emulation I think, but what about general Windows gaming? Let us know how it handles BigBox and everything and noise/temp levels as this setup comes to a not so bad price I might use it as a base.
Currently got my old helicopter sounding massive desktop PC as my HTPC with an old Core2Quad Q6600 OC to 3ghz and Radeon HD 4850 GPU and while it handles HEVC fine it lags like hell for most emulation, probably due to GPU but it's time I went M-ATX so I can shove it under the TV instead of a massive tower sat there lol.
