I just bought a 6700K for my Work Station/Gaming Setup but now I need to upgrade my HTPC as well.
Would a i3 6300t 35w be better then a Kabini 5350 25w in terms of Igpu performance? Dont really care to much about the cpu performance as much as I do the integrated Graphics.What are your guys thoughts?
 
Because I am also looking for a low watt powered cpu and those are the only 2 I found. 5350 is last gen and the 6300t is this gen..
 
If you going to watch either 4K, HEVC or VP9 movies / streams you can exclude current gen desktop APUs. They lack support for all of these formats. Only 1080p H.264 hardware decoding is supported on Kabini & Kaveri / Godavari. Stoney Ridge & Bristol Ridge desktops will be the first ones to support 4K and HEVC.
 
The i3 would handle your needs well. Also consider the possibility of a low-profile GPU. No sign of a low profile GTX1050 or 1060 yet and we have to wait for the RX460 or RX470 from AMD.
