$1.5k for 4k streaming

[datamon]

Hi all, I am helping a friend to hunt for a cpu and monitor.

-No mouse, keyboard, os and speakers needed

For game wise, dota 2 and maybe gta 5

Will need to get a cpu to be able watch youtube 4k videos. He has a fibre internet already.

Please help me to recommend the parts, thank you

You'll blow the budget with a 4K monitor XD

Even 2k is barely enou...

If let say the decision is to get a cpu that can steam 4k while getting a 1080p monitor first, will 1.5k be enough?

even 3k not even enough

i suggest waiting for 4k to become more mainstream.
else whatever you buy now may be close to becoming obsolete when everyone is taking up 4k.
