Building a HTPC

[Solajin]

Hello All

 

I am currently planning to build a HTPC, to be seated in our living room, on which we would like to be able to playback and stream 4k to our television.

The computer isnt used for gaming of any sort:

 

This is what i planned

is the integrated graphics strong enough to stream 4k?

Any recommendations on other parts?

 

Best Regard

if by "apple" you mean mac OSX then you'd need a proper motherboard for hackintoshing

I think he wanted to type "able" instead of "apple".

I would say to get a non integrated GPU for 4k streaming, you may get hangups or stutters, you could maybe drop the ram to 8gb and get something like a GTX 960, youll pick them up cheap because of the new 10 series release and will probably guarantee it has no problems.

okay upgraded the list, so it includes a graphics card with hdmi 2.0, to be sure it can run 4k

That is perfectly fine.
