Hi Guys,
New to the forum, but not new to building PCs. Currently trying to spec out a mini-ITX build for the near future (once I part with some other PCs) and am debating between the 1500x and the 2400G. In your opinion, would getting the 1500x make any sense if I am not over-clocking? Would getting the 2400G make any sense if I am going to have discrete graphics? I like the idea of having on-board graphics in case the graphics card has an issue, but I also have a laptop so I wouldn't be completely out a computer if something were to happen. The PC would mainly be used for some light to moderate gaming (Civilization is my main thing), perusing the web, word processing, videos, i.e. normal stuff. The price difference between the two is minimal, so that isn't the issue. Just curious what others thought in regards to these two processors. Thanks
