I'm going to build a new HTPC (Win7) and need some advise on what processor to choose. I'm considering;

i5-2400, i5-2405S, i5-2500K

The graphics performance pulls me in the direction of i5-2405S or i5-2500K

The lower power consumption of i5-2405S is appealing.

Any other considerations?

Advise appreciated.

I would suggest checking the following comparison chart:

http://ark.intel.com/compare/52210,55446,52207 http://ark.intel.com/compare/52210,55446,52207

The green lines are the differences between each processor.

In order for you to determine which of those processors is better for your needs, you need to take in consideration if you need lower power consumption, or higher performance.
