    Xcelsior86 got a reaction from Andrei Chiffa in HDMI in and out sound bar   
    Yes this should work.  The video from the Chromecast will go through the HDMI out to the TV and the audio will be put out from the soundbar.  No different to how a reciever works in a home theatre.

    Xcelsior86 got a reaction from piemadd in Plex HTPC suggestions?   
    The i5 should be able to handle that without issue.  My Plex server is an i3 and it  can stream two 1080p streams without issue so I'm sure an i5 could handle 4k locally.  I would recommend getting a dedicated video card for 4k, but you probably don't need a 1080 like you would for gaming.  I think a 1060 would be sufficient for this purpose.  Video card will give you a much better picture than on board video as well.
