No discrete gfx? Onboard atom video? I don't think that'll run modern games with good fps. It's certainly good enough for web/downloading etc. But if I planned to game with it the minimum I'd do would be an i3 - the onboard video is loads better.

SSgt Mark Lines - I also game exclusively on the PC. I had an xbox one but didn't play it enough to justify it, so I sold it.

SN Greg Wright - At one time I had a PS3. I went so long in between using it that the batteries in the controllers went totally flat and would not recharge. So I ended up just buying an extra long USB cable.

I have used a Raspberry Pi in the past as a "streaming" HTPC. I set it up on the TV in the bedroom, and it would stream video from the internet and my home network. The complete kit (case, fan, heat sinks, micro-SD card, power cable, and HDMI cable) cost me only around $70.

SSgt Mark Lines - What operating system did you use? And are those 16 or 32 bit?

SN Greg Wright I was using a version of Linux Debian that was designed for use on the Pi called Raspbian. The CPU on the newest version, the Raspberry Pi 3, is a 64-bit CPU. They are great for "streaming boxes" and retro game emulators. This is the kit I am looking to purchase to replace my cheaper (in price, quality, and reliability) Orange Pi that decided to self immolate.
