I want to replace my ageing HTPC as the hardware is giving me trouble and I have 3 questions.
1) Would this motherboard\CPU\RAM bundle be any good for an HTPC (Movies and music only, no gaming)
2) Would it be able to run 4K video at an "acceptable" rate
3) What would be a good "quiet" low profile cooler for it

I haven't brought the case yet so I don't have any specific size requirements, I'm either going to use Openelec\Libreelec or Ubuntu and Kodi as the OS.
I already have a couple of media streaming boxes and sticks that I'm happy with, so there's no need to suggest that I try one.
