G3930 for 4K Streaming?

[TomR]

Is the G3930 sufficient for a budget 4K Netflix streaming HTPC?

By itself, probably not... with something like a RX550 or GT1030 easily

So if the GPU is doing the encoding could I get something like a R5 1400 and GTX 1050 ti? Or do I still need a Kabylake CPU for 4K Netflix

You need a KabyLake CPU and you also HAVE to use Microsoft Edge for 4K netflix. If you don't need the computer for anything else get a Chromecast Ultra or Amazon fireTV for 4K Netflix, if you want to game then get an Xbox One S for streaming in 4K and playing in 1080p

The G4560 Pentium would probably do it
