Hi there, 

 

looking for a good mini PC for my tv. Thought about Intel NUC i5 or something but for barebones they are really expensive.

Any Ideas?

 

Should play 4K files (UHD-BluRay // FHD-BluRay). Nothing on gaming (but would be cool if league of legends & rocket league would work)

So according to this source, you can run LoL at 4K over 90 fps on a 750 Ti

Is that right? I might just bench it myself using DSR on my 560 Ti (which is about 5% off a 750 ti)
