HTPC Question

[Rainerius]

---

Anyone know how much power an HTPC will use with the following specs:

1. Core i3 530
2. H67 Motherboard
3. Dedicated Video for HD Decoding (GTX 550 ti? ATI equivalent?)
4. A couple of disks (2-3 1TB for storage)

The PS3 and WDTV Live ain't cutting it for me anymore, I need more versatility.

Thanks!

The CPU and mobo are not compatible bro. The core i-3 530 is socket 1156 and the h67 mobo is socket 1155 (newer). Also, i would recommend using the 1155 platform (H67) so you can use quicksync. That way you won't need a dedicated GPU.

Wattage there would be arround 100 watts (even less). I still would recommend getting a 200w psu though.
