Currently running a i2500K/8GB of ram and an old 300GB Raptor for the base of my current HTPC. What I would like to do is move over to a much smaller, VESA mountable solution. I am looking for future proofing so x265 4k decoding in a cpu integrated gpu if possible, or a VESA mountable case that can handle a video card that can handle the decoding. To compound this upgrade, I do not want to break the bank, so price is a concern. If x265/4k decoding is not an option for the parameters given, do you have a suggestion for at least x265/1080p decoding?
Current HTPC is in a mid-tower case and it is just too big and out of place. Moving to a VESA box mounted on the back of the TV would be excellent and make the wife very happy .
Files will be located on the home server via 1GbE LAN connection and I plan on moving to a 256GB SSD. Software is Win7/Kodi and would like to stay that way, not a real fan of Win10.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
