I want to build a HTPC that can play 4K movies @60Hz and I can take to my friends place to game.
First thing to decide:
Case: Corsair 380T vs Bitfenix Prodigy M [Mini-ITX vs Micro-ATX]
Update: April 5th, 2016
I have made a list. PLease choose and give your opinion:
4. CPU Cooler: Corsair H80i GT
5. RAM: Corsair DDR4 2133MHz CL13 (2x8GB)
6. Storage: Master: Samsung M.2 850 EVO 256-512 GB (Not sure about size) & N/A with MSI Mortar Slave: Samsung SataIII 840 EVO 1TB
7. VGA: EVGA GTX 960
8. PSU: EVGA 450 -650w G2
Please note that this is not my main unit. It will be used as a HTPC at home and a gaming pc when I visit friends.

- Case: Corsair 380T [Mini-ITX] vs Bitfenix Prodigy M [Micro-ATX]
- MotherBoard: ASROCK Fatal1ty Gaming Z170 [Mini-ItX] vs ASUS Z170M-Plus/ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VII GENE Z170/MSI Z170M MORTAR [MICRO-ATX]
- Pro of ASRock: Has a HDMI 2.0 on Motherboard so I can watch 4K@60Hz with only CPU
- All Micro-ATX can accommodate additional PCI-e cards e.g sound card, TV in Card
- ASUS ROG can take 2 VGAs at x8 while other at x4
