Looking to build a HTPC (Home Theater PC) out of an old broken NES.
Will be looking to run Dolphin among other Emulators on it, and would like your opinion on my selected hardware.
Motherboard: ASUS H81I-PLUS LGA 1150 Intel H81 Mini ITX
Processor: Intel Core i3 4130 Haswell 3.4GHz Dual Core LGA 1150
RAM: G.Skill 4GB or 8GB DDR3 1600MHz
GPU: GIGABYTE GV-N640D5-1GL GeForce GT 640 1GB 64-bit GDDR5
HDD: Seagate 2.5" SATA 6.0GB/s 1TB Hybrid Drive
Cooling: 2x 60mm Case Fans, and 1 Zalman 110mm Low Profile CPU Cooler
PSU: 300W Mini ITX
Cartridge Bay will contain a 4 Port USB 3.0 Hub with HD Audio Ports
Pending benchmark results I may switch from a GeForce 640 to the integrated Intel Iris Pro 5200.
Just need some help figuring out if I should get a better GPU or if I'm good with what I have now.
