I want to build a PC that can do the following:
Emulate consoles such as PS2, PS1, Xbox, Gamecube, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, Super Nintendo
Play Blu Ray Disc
Function as my home theater

Must have:
Wifi
4USB Ports (prefer 6+)
Small Computer Case, preferably the size of a console if possible. Definitely smaller then mid size tower

Budget: $Less then $500$
More specific use (what games, what programs): emulating old consoles and watching blu rays
Planned time until purchase: ASAP
Do you need an Operating System?: No
Do you have any specific preferred components?: No
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: No
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: No
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: No
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): USA 91730

I would like newegg/amazon, can go to microcenter

So this is not possible on this budget?

A raspberry pi build might be better then a pc.
It would take some effort to have it set up proper but will be cheap.
I think an intel stick would also be a great option for windows use.

Just get a usb blueray player for it and load up your emulators and be good to go.

i dont think those intel atom or core m cpu's can handle xbox and gamecube games tbh, also he asked for 6 usb ports (probably for controllers)



it is.. just get one 8gb stick and buy another one later.. or just go with 8gb in total, will be fine

nn 2400g for ur purpose, even 2200g is overkill with 8gb ram.

use external blu ray drive or change case that allows the housing.

Alright ty so far guys.

So what if I changed this up a little.
No blu ray and only 4 USB ports
And no integrated wifi
