hi

building a media centre for my friend and i am wondering if the a10 6700 would be good enough to stream 3d movies to his 3d projector he has. i think i will. its also a 65wt chip so will be efficient and cool. no overclocking will take place.

this will be playing movies and music and streaming via homeplugs to a WD TV box in the lounge for movies on the main house TV. is the WD box the best for this?
 
cheers guys.

is the a10 overkill then? should i save money? i wanted the best one really, which i know is the 6800k but no overclocking needed.

3d movies would be fine too yes?

i felt it would be better than a seperate gpu, which could be added in the future.

£40 difference with that one. they support £1866mhz ram to but team group 2400 mhz only £60 this wk! bargain. i assume it just runs lower speed.
