Cheap HTPC / Android TV Box

Hey! 

Looking to build a cheap HTPC for Kodi, the highest res. content I would be outputting (is that the right word?) to my TV is 1080p. My budget is around £60.

Due to the budget, I was thinking I may have to (although this may not be a bad thing) get an Android TV Box. Could someone recommend me an android TV box for £60 (or under, preferably) that would be efficient in running Kodi or an HTPC which could do the same?

 

Thanks!! :D

You could Get tM8S android box or an amazon fire stick. With the Android box you can get kodi from the play store but with the fire stick it can installed using CLI and sideloading. I have both and find they are quite good.

You could get a RaspBerry Pi and load Kodi on It. And maybe add a screen, or just use your monitor/TV. Max. 50% of your budget.
