To buy:
Board (for sound & video cards):
Zotac NM10-BE
Case: Custom, or
Silverstone SG05-b
Already owned
Video Card:
Sapphire 4850 (Single slot)
Sound card:
Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium
2x1TB WD green (non raid)
Bluray drive
2x1GB DDR2
The resolution is 1280x720 right now, but will be increased to 1920x1080 within a year. Will this be able to play blurays, netflix streams, and maybe L4D2 (@ low res w/settings)?
If not, I will go AM3 mATX. Really my problem is that I have not used an atom since 2009, and it was an HP mini 1000, single core, single thread, GMA 950. I haven't had experience with these chips for a while, so don't know how well they are paired with a 4850.
I also have a 4650, but I am not sure how well it would fair regarding hardware acelleration.
