Which games are you wanting to play?

[Adigal]

I guess games like.. Modern comat 5, real racing games like that.

One thing to consider, if you get bitten by the TV Box bug, your first box won't be your last. If bitten by the bug, even if your first device is perfect for your needs, your still going to want another, and another, etc. I don't know why......

Haha I guess you're right, I already bought 2 sticks, but none of them is satisfied me.. I really want something good.. I don't care to raise to 100 dollars but not too expensive, basically im looking for the best tx box/stick in 80-100 dollars in the market.. I know this is a hard to find but there must be something...
Advise me some devices(+link for buying, I already bought fake device from eaby, so I need link for one that it true..) I will pick one of them...

It is an addiction.

Out of of all the boxes/sticks that I have purchased, that little $35 MK808B Plus is by far the best of the bunch for me. It is my DVR backend, it is not even connected to my TV, it just sits there doing it's job. Sometimes I forget that it is even there.

I've seen it said many times, "RK3288 for games, AMLogic for video". If games are your first priority, an RK3288 may be for you. It it is video, then one of the AMLogics may be better choice. The RK3368 boxes look very capable, but it may be too early to tell how they will shake out.
I don't feel I have the depth of experience to recommend a box outright, so I'll give my opinion on one. I have been very happy with my UT3(RK3288), but as I said, my needs may not be typical. The box is fast and snappy. It plays what few games I have played, with zeal. Surfing is very quick. Video performance seems great to me, but I'm not a critic. Video performance was considerably better running Ugoos' 5.1 Alpha, but as yet no release-ready version has surfaced. Linux runs very well on the box. So too does Android 4.4. and SD bootable Linux . The UT3 or the newer UT3S is outside your planned budget. But cheaper 3288 boxes are available.
I have seen the following boxes on sale recently....NOTE: Not recommendations, just examples of type......
UT3S 2GB/16GB(RK3288) $100.90@Gearbest
Minix Neo X8-H Plus 2GB/16GB(AML S812-H)(I/R Remote only) $119.90@Geekbuying ---rumors suggest this box will not be getting 5.1.
Xidoo X6 2GB/16GB(RK3368) $99.99@Geekbuying
Nagrace NT-V8 2GB/16GB(RK3368)(I/R Remote only) $99.99@Aliexpress
All of these have Gigabit LAN, dual-band WiFi, use quality boards and components and are considered to be well supported by both their makers and their users. The S812-H and RK3288 are more mature and most of their shortcomings are known. The 3368 is still being explored.

Wanted to add, boxes with external antenna typically provide superior WiFi performance. Boxes with >2 amp power supplies will allow for more headroom when using USB peripherals.

Getting the kid to do your work for you, huh grandpa. With the number of boxes you have(and because of your untreated addiction), for your sake, I hope you've got more grandchildren.
Me personally, I like your delegating skills, shows leadership.
You better watch out though, shes a pretty good little reviewer, she might take your job.

Your faith in the S805 has had me considering an S805 box. I realize your praise is for the stick, but I'm a box guy.

Wow the ut3 looks great, a little experience .. But I will check it out.
What do you recommend of the Intel mini pc stick?.. It's good ? I saw that it cost around 99 Dollars

As stated, my diversity of experience on these devices is fairly limited compared to many here. I have no experience with the Intel devices.
Good luck in your decision.
Cheers.
