Well yeah, I'm gonna build a HTPC/server soon and I'm currently looking for components. So my budget is about 200 euros and that should include Mini-ITX motherboard, processor, RAM's, PSU and a case. So far I've been looking at ASRock E350M1 which comes with an AMD Dual-Core Processor E350/E350D. As of the case, I've been looking at Codegen MX-31 Mini-ITX computer case, it comes with a 420w power supply which seems overkill for this kind of motherboard & processor but only 54 euros for the case & psu so its quite cheap. For RAMS I need some help: "The motherboard supports DDR3 1066, 2 DIMM slots, Max. capacity up to 16GB" I'm not sure if SO-DIMM is the same as DIMM, since the cheapest DIMM momory I could find was 50 euros for 1GB and cheapest SO-DIMM DDR3 memory was only 9 euros for 1GB, so please clarify this for me and suggest a good amount and speed of RAM.

Well thats pretty much it, heres a last wrap up of the current setup:

  • Motherboard: ASRock E350M1 (comes with AMD Dual-Core Processor E350/E350D & Build in graphics) 97,90 e
  • Case: Codegen MX-31(comes with 420w power supply unit) 54,90 e
  • RAM: ?

Total: 152,8 e / 200 e (47,2 e left)

I'd appreciate your help and opinions ;)

Play for fun and friendship, not for stats or achievements.
If you do not want to roleplay, log off. Remember that "do not force RP" does NOT mean you can refuse to interact with other players.
