Will this HTPC be enough?

[mathmeister]

I have movies in 5.1 that I want to play through the PC to a receiver to my surround sound setup and projector. I also want to be able to do 4K playback to my tv in another room. (over a long hdmi cable)

Use the stock cooler

 

You can play videos fine

 

Id get the g4620 for the better igpu

The only hardware problem with video generally is with Netflix 4K where you an only run on kaby lake. As long as your not pushing this machine into anything else you should be absolutely fine.

Only 30Hz @4K resolution with HDMI.

small changes

Pentium G4600 

No aftermarket cooler

Better 7200rpm HDD

and i chose an even smaller Silverstone HTPC case (consider it if you want a smaller system!)
