Budget HTPC spec for 4k HDR x265 HEVC 10bit?

[Robertjan88]

Hi all,

As I am considering buying a Shield TV for my Samsung KS8000, I was wondering if a HTPC wouldn't be a better/more future proof option.

My budget would be around 500 EUR.

As I already own a copy of Windows 10 and PowerDVD 17, I was wondering what would be the most optimum setup I could build allowing me to seamlessly play 4k HDR x265 HEVC 10bit and any other format?

Many thanks in advance!

Anyone?

I guess that means ppl prefer the shield to a htpc.
