Hi,

I'm looking to build a small mITX based system. I've been looking at either of these 3 options -

ASUS P8H61-I with a Pentium G620T
a Zotac FUSION350-A-E
or I could go with an Athlon II X2 240e with a 880GITX-A-E motherboard for slightly more power

First two are around the same price, third option is most expensive.

I can recycle my slip optical drive and DDR3 RAM, maybe my SG05 but I want something a bit smaller, I really like the Antec ISK-300 but it may be too small?

Just wondering what your thoughts are on the 3 different platforms for some web browsing and some SD video/music playback.

Thanks!
 
Isn't the Pentium G620 faster than the Athlon? For everyday use I'd go for the Pentium actually if it's cheaper.
 
for SD Video playback than it should be fine if u want hd playback sometime u can always buy a small Nvidia GeForce with Cuda and use Cuda for h264/x264 decoding and more.
