I am building a computer for my grandparents, and image quality is really important to them, as their eyesight isn't great.

I would love to run 4k, and of course, being grandparents, they don't game. They really do want high image quality however. They mostly use it for just normal day to day stuff. However, I do not want it to be slow, it needs to perform well, because their current computer is extremely slow, and that's why they're having me make them a new one.

Thanks for the info.

Absolutely.

Honestly, it even could handle some light 4k gaming, and video playback, etc. is more than covered by the 1050.

RandomGamingInHD has a great video about this card's 4k performance (in games, but it holds true for general use as well) on his channel, and it's actually rather impressive.

Apologies, I had made a quick edit mentioning a video that shows its performance in games (and by extension, video, etc.) quite well, I must have taken too long to post it. my bad.

The 8100 can handle 4k fine yes.

Your issue would be finding a board with the relevant video output though.

What screen are they going to be using this on ??

Most z370 boards Ive seen only have hdmi 1.4 which supports 4k at 24htz max,& displayport which supports 4k 60htz.

The cable connection will be more of an issue than the capability of the igp itself.


By the time you'd done you'd likely be better off with a ryzen 1200,a cheap a320 motherboard & a gt1030 with hdmi 2 output (which does support 4k @ 60htz fine)

Even for non gaming use, make sure the display can do 4k at 60hz. Make sure the graphics solution you choose has hardware support for the kind of 4k content you plan to use. Lastly, get them an SSD. If you want the system to be as snappy as possible they need an SSD. It doesn't have to be a top of the line model or expensive, but don't saddle them with a hard drive.

Oh yeah, SSD was the first thing I decided on. I've built 3 PC's, but they've all had a higher budget. First budget build.

What would you recommend for ram? I could get a 1 stick of 8GB for cheaper, but will I notice any difference in speed if I got 2x4GB?

You need a gpu with ryzen ,it doesnt have integrated graphics.

For general desktop use,video theres not really going to be a noticeable difference between 1 stick or 2.
