Best PC for the money *Media*

[NowJoJo]

Budget is $1500 CAD before tax;

I want 16gb RAM, 6 gen or higher i7, blueray reader and writer, 500gb SSD. I already have HDD's, bluetooth and wifi built in

I am thinking of a GTX 1060 6gb to watch my 4K media?

Any suggestions and or part list?

Thanks!

If watching 4k media is your only workload and if you are not gaming, then even this can do the job...

Will be a 1060 be enough for it?? 4K media is pretty hard to run, it will be on a 70' 4K OLED TV via HDMI

Todays most CPUs and GPUs are capable of running 4k media. Its 4k gaming that is more resource hungry and makes it struggle.

What software will I use to watch my 4k blurays?


Also, I read that most disk drives don't come with cables so which cables will I need for it?
