When you say "Home Theater" what exactly do you mean? What are your uses? Do you live near a microcenter? Do you need an OS?

Ryzen 1600@3.8ghz / 16gb 2400mhz / ASRock B350 ITX / Gigabyte RX 470 4gb / 256gb M.2 / SG13B-Q / Corsair 450w

I would spend the extra $ and opt for the 6800k for the slightly better graphics performance!
