Hi psreekanthteach,

All three of the processors you list are complete overkill for streaming a single movie.

That said, I think it's tough to buy a mainstream proc today that would be a bottleneck in a home environment. Of the 3 you list I would probably get the i3 & pair it with one of these Supermicro 1155 boards:
