Plenty of people have tried to help him but it seems he doesn't want to listen

not true at all. Stan Jones helped me plenty. He's the only guy that helped me out and @itsyoung!! linked me to the HTP thread where I got trolled by 2guns

 

[Ciggavelli]

yeah, but nobody really telling me nothing except @STAN JONES

2guns told me to get a intel Celeron M processor breh

 

[LeVraiPapi]

He should just get a prefab one. Go to dell, put in some shyt and then have em send it to him. He's clearly lost

yeah, a fellow coli member is lost but you trynna pin him stupid and refer him to do stupid stuff instead of pointing him out to the right direction, huh ?

thx and props to @DF is BUSY who actually took his time to help me out.

Have you actually done research on htpc? You don't need a i5. Go to xbmc forums and check out the hardware section. Plenty of builds listed that don't use an i5.

yup, for 6 months and I wanted it perfect. I m getting the i5 with my SSD cuz I want it somewhat fast and for multitasking of course. Good graphics count as well since I m cutting off cable too.

@Ciggavelli All I wanted was advice on a PSU breh and I had bad luck with my links which, then the great @Orbital-Fetus had to rub it in tellin me my board was from 1998.

Came here for advice cuz I thought the Coli dudes looked out for each other and guide each other, but obviously I disturbed your good discussion,lol

my bad brehs, carry on. I ll hit up XBMC and reddit. Actually I saw a couple builds where ppl say to get a i3, but a i5 is the wiser choice.

google breh

I saw all those articles like 5 months ago, but different ppl used different cases and I wanted a nice looking case which cost me a PSU

They been linked here before, but none talked about a PSU and the voltage needed

edit @Ciggavelli your links only show when I quote you. Must be the coli then

Yeah, I guess we may have done you a bit dirty, but it's all in good fun. Those links I posted before should help though

like i said before, i did not know that you were trying to build a HTPC.
i post about gaming when it comes to PC related issues...so when you called me out specifically i assumed you wanted advice on building a gaming rig.

when i saw the MOBO you chose my jimmies were rustled because i thought you wanted it for gaming.

good luck on your venture.
