Hello everyone

i'm in the same situation as our friend except i already have my I5 2500k. Currently i am thinking two options

1) Buy a HD6790 around 129EUR
2) Buy a HD6670 70 EUR and a better CPU cooler 70 EUR and overclock the 2500k a little bit more.

The HTPC it's not intended for gaming. I use SVP MPC-HC and MadVr.

Bellow you can find a benchmark with the CPU at 4200 and cpu usage around 85-95%.
