    Is this good enough for a htpc?

    It's got similar hardware to the latest Raspberry Pi 2 B+ The $9 CHIP only has composite out though, you'll probably want to spring for the HDMI add-on which brings the price to $24 I think. Also, I hear shipping is very expensive for the CHIP. It does have the advantage of WiFi and Bluetooth...

    Which is better for gaming?

    So games like League of Legends would be better with an i3, BF3 would be better on the FX. That's why I asked. If you're not going to overclock though get the i3

    Headphones for £300

    They're both great products. Have a look at some reviews of both and see if there is anything about one of them that appeals to you particularly. One thing that I'd say is that these headphones are for life! If they break, Sennheiser sell all the parts for them and they're not hard to fix. I've...

    Trying to choose a gaming PC for around £1000

    Hi, are you looking to build from scratch or do you want a prebuilt? Will you require a monitor? If building from scratch, do you have any parts that could be recycled from an old PC (i.e. the one you're using to game on a daily basis) like HDD and optical drive?
