  • I need (want) an HTPC, able to output 4k with maybe some transcoding. What would a good budget build be? I haven't bought any hardware in just shy of 10 years and I'm completely of touch.
    My research is saying a Ryzen 3200G with a B350 mobo would be a good base?

  • the transcoding is the bit that needs grunt. alot of single board computers can do 4k 60fps no problem these days, BUT their cpu's aren't great for transcoding

  • I'd be tempted to just go lazy and get an Intel NUC. 8th generation intel or later if possible.
