media player upgrade needed

Dave0w · 8 Oct 2012 at 20:00

i want a m-atx mobo, some ram and a CPU for a media player

i would like AMD as i have a small case and GFX cards can be a problem, and the i-gpu on AMD is better(me thinks but happy to be wrong)

budget £200 for the lot but dont expect to spend that much for the needed specs

The new AMD FM2 chips look great, I'd start there.
