Hi I have an Intel Broadwell based desktop CPU. I am planning to buy a 4K TV and connect it to my PC via HDMI 2.0. Currently my system has GTX 1070 (which supports HDMI2.0 and HDCP 2.2) on it. Is it possible to run 4K video streaming videos from Netflix and Amazon using this system or do I need a 7th gen Intel processor for this? Thanks a lot for any help in this regard.

Hi I am trying to build a workstation for my applied genomics/mathematics work. I have a cluster server at work, but I need a workstation for daily use. I have decided on some aspects/parts as listed below. I need a solid recommendation on good MOBO and a compatible full-tower case. I am not interested in racks and I don't want to drill holes if the mobo & cpu mounts do not align. I prefer that the MOBO has thunderbolt 3 ports, so I can daisy chain List of recommendations needed A. Compatible MOBO with support for dual Intel Xeon 26xx series and if possible, thunderbolt 3 support B. recommendation for dual liquid cool CPU OR dual air cooled radiator C. recommendation for compatible Full-tower case with native support for MOBO MOBO should be compatible with these and have plenty of PCI-express lanes : 1. Dual Xeon E5-2697A 2. 256GB DDR4-2400 LRDIMM RAM - 2 crucial 4 X 32 GB kit 3. Dual EVGA GTX 1080 in SLI mode 4. LSI MegaSAS Raid 9260-8i 5. Seven 6TB WD RE Drives in RAID5 6. Intel SSD DC P3608 - 2TB Thanks for helping me !

I am planning a multi-threaded workstation grade desktop/server with Dual Intel Xeon E7 v3 processors (like Xeon E7 88xx series). I am planning to use 128GB DDR4 ECC RAM. I would need recommendation for a very good motherboard and a matching case which can fit the motherboard. I would have dedicated hardware RAID so number of SATA/SAS on the motherboard is not essential. However I would need at least 4 PCI-e slots.
