Media Centre PC Advice

[Azbat297]

I am looking at building a PC just for watching movies and TV shows in 4k.
I have put together https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/syGXqk
I am bulding the PC around the case, any suggestions for motherboard or other parts I could replace. Budget is £700 though trying to keep it as low as possible.

Board comes with built-in wifi, 2400 MHz memory is supported by kaby lake might as well use it. Processor... If this will do anything other than media it's a good bit faster and has a 80% stronger Integrated graphics card, its also a good bit stronger in general as it has 4 threads instead of 2 just 2. Not a necessity but still well under your max budget and should do any task a decent amount faster.

Thank you for the quick reply. The motherboard looks great, forgot to mention the need for wifi so got lucky there.
The plan is it will only be used for media as we have other desktops in the house..So if I can get away with the Celeron to save a bit of money if not I will just get the Pentium.

It'll work okay in most situations. Just may fall on it's gave even doing 2d based kids type games. Pure video playback it should be okay.
