Thanks Guys.

Just curious, saw the "branded" PCs with i7 CPUs but the builds suggested are on i3. How much difference in performance will there be?

Also, if I'm planning to play/stream movies from my PC to TV, do I need a NAS or some other device/connection?

Branded cpu are not balanced rig. I3 is good for light gaming and work. I5 is suited for gaming and work. I7 is for gaming which is hard on cpu like maybe watchdogs and also video editings and stuffs.

And nope you don't need nas just connect html from pc to tv

Watchdog is cpu intensive?
