New HTPC

[Whalelicker]

So, as the title states, im building new htpc, capable of direct playing 4K hdr from windows 10, preferably not crazy consumption, as it will run idle pretty much half a day.

 

So, this is what i have, PSU 500W gold, and thermaltake htpc case

2200G should be enough. Can always swap that out for the 2400G if you want.

 

The Pro4 is decent and cheap. I don't see the TUF having anything you want that the Pro4 doesn't have.

Faster RAM because Ryzen loves RAM Speed and if you just use the iGPU it also means faster Video Memory (because you share it with system memory)

 

660p just because it is smaller and if I am not wrong not SATA

 

Edit: don't start a sentence one way and change your mind in the end without reading it again

Im kinda set on that 2400g, I always went for that "it's enough" choice and regretted it later. Also it comes in a bundle with that for like 30% less at my retailer. That's the reason for that mobo. Points taken on that ram. I'll pick up 3200 then, I kinda hoped they could oc pro 3200 anyway, since my HyperX 3200 goes very far with higher voltage
