Hi all
Wanting to build a new htpc and I have two options
Option 1
Haswell i5 4430 using its own gfx
Asus H87I-Plus
Stock CPU cooler
Option 2
Ivy bridge i3 3220
Asus P8Z77-M
Stock CPU cooler
Sapphire HD 6570 Ultimate Edition 1024MB GDDR3
Now both systems work out at the same price but I don't know which to go for as I want a quiet build.
Would the i5 be just as quiet as the i3 just playing full 1080p blurays.
Thanks for any help
