I'm interested in an A10 build. What do you think?
I am interested in a PC that can sit next to the living room TV in a relatively small space and be used for Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, and some gaming in 720p. The A10 seems like a simple/cheap build that will fit this. From what I've read it overclocks well but not so great on the stock cooler. What cooler should I use that will fit in a small tower?
Here is what I have so far. Thoughts?
