Hi guys.. wanted to setup a HTPC.. looking at a desktop ard rm1000- rm1500... wanted to hook it up to my 4k samsung tv.. hence a 4k video output at 60hz will be great.. any suggestion ? Is it cheaper to just buy ready make desktop ?

Hi guys.. just went through some of the benchmarks.. is it true that budget desktop processor likw g4560 is even more powerful than the i7-7500u counterpart ? So it means the lowest range desktop cpu can beat most of the core i7 mobile processor ? But they did mention that g4560 is missing AVX.. whats that ?

Basic PC can be done but playing 4k video might be a problem due to weak CPU.

Pentium G4560 - 276
Asus H110M-K (remind the seller to update BIOS) -279
Kingston 8GB DDR4-2400 X1 - 314
WD Blue or Seagate 1TB - 210
Coolermaster Elite 350W - 139
Tecware F3 case - 145

RM1363 total (C-Zone prices)

Hi usually for watching 4k video like netflix.. does it require better gpu or cpu ? G4560 has hdmi 2.0 ?

How about these?

Core i3-7100 - 489
Asrock H270M-ITX/ac - 440 (from lelong)
Kingston 8GB DDR4-2400 X1 - 319
WD Blue or Seagate 1TB - 210
Corsair VS 450W - 184
Coolermaster Elite 110 or Silverstone Sugo SG13B(from lazada) case - 199/225

RM1841 total

I suggest you topup around RM250 for  i5. i3 may not be good enough to play 4k videos with high bitrate.
