My parents media pc recently went wrong and im just trying to get it up and running for them again asap but budget is a little tight. The usage is basically videos and tv series (1080p) but really wouldnt want the system to feel sluggish. I was thinking about a socket 1150 i3 but I am totally out of touch with whether or not the AMD alternative would offer better value for money for this sort of system.
The main requirements are:
1) as good value as possible
2) It must be an ITX motherboard because of the case
3) Its basically a cpu/ITX motherboard combo that im after.
4) It must feel pretty fast even when booting up etc
Any help is very appreciated !
i gather for intel it is getting increasingly difficult to get ITX motherboards, hence the slight curiousity over what AMD offer these days, as ITX form seems less rare for whatever reason.
