There are iplayer plugins for Xbmc, they're not as easy to use as the site though and I don't think the streams are as good a quality.
My old PC is getting pretty slow so it's time to build up a new one but I'm not really up with current technology. I'm thinking of a base of an SSD and an i5 or an i7 but what's the best "bang for your buck"?
It won't be used for anything too hardcore, occasional hefty Excel spreadsheets and video processing are the main heavy things so it doesn't need to be anything too top-end.
I have no idea about modern video cards, I run two 1920x1080 monitors, watch HD films, occasional gaming (nothing too recent) so again nothing too fancy.
Any suggestions gratefully received or any links to sites with decent reviews, etc.
