Hi there,
My goal is to build a computer which I can learn and master coding on(particularly Swift code on Xcode, as well as stream videos onto my television with. It would also be used for emails, and other general surfing the web, so I would need to be able to hook it up to a computer monitor as well as my tv. My first idea was a custom build mac mini. I was looking at the barebones one but I'm not sure the i3 processor will meet my needs and I fear if I go up to an i5 I will need more power or more cooling, which would also mean a need for a different case/tower. I have never done this before but I am extremely motivated to make this happen. I am doing this on a budget as well so I hope to not spend more than $800CAD. Any advice would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Rich
