My uncle needs a PC to connect with a 4K TV. He also needs it to have USB Type-C port for his other devices. Would $800 make it possible? Can you guys give me suggestions?
Thank you so much!

Actually, his son may use it for gaming sometimes. If that's the case, how much the budget should be? He wants to squeeze a Wi-Fi card too, so the size doesn't really matter as long as it all runs smoothly.

Well, if he is going for 4K gaming, depends what type of games he wants to play. The 4K gaming card is $600 by itself, just something to think about. You can also get a smaller card, and drop the resolution of the game. It won't be maximum for the screen, but you can always upgrade early.

The system itself, will probably be $600-700 itself, and then the GPU will be $200-450 depending on how much you are willing to spend. Clearly if you want true 4K gaming, you are looking at around $1,300. It's up to you.

The kid mostly plays Roblox though. Do you mind give me a part list for the base system and selections of GPU?

That's pretty much it? The CPU can handle that, lol..I'm thinking some COD, BF1, GTA V...but it's cool. Here is a good parts list to use with the 4k TV. It will NOT have a GPU, because the CPU can handle those light titles, especailly if it is web-based.

So the following list should be able to perform 4K computing just fine. You wouldn't need a GPU if you are not doing heavy gaming. The price can change if you decide that the case is ugly and you want something different. I also gave you a Z170 because it has an upgrade path. So in the future if you wanted to turn this machine into a beast, you can add an i7-6700K. This i5-6500 should be just fine for you and deliver what you need. It also has a USB 3.0 and 3.1 port as well. You may need a hub to hook up more devices. Also included an SSD for faster boot times. The 1TB hard drive is really for storage.

That's good enough for me. If he wants, he can put a GTX 1060 for those kid-friendly games, right?
Do you mind give me a HTPC build also? Just for comparison. Thank you!

A 1070 will handle 4K at reduced settings. (usually just turning off AA) to run at 60 fps:
