Looking at a HTPC build for the front room, picked up the Fractal ridge case as my wife, and I, approve of it visually, and it will fit in the tv stand horizontally.
Essentially need it to be able to play 4k video and be quiet whilst doing it. The ability to play games on it would be nice, but not the priority. Would like to keep the budget under £700 (not including the case). Any build suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated.
