PC that can drive a 55" 4k tv

[jswilkj]

So I need a computer that can drive a 55" 4k tv, but here's the catch. It needs to be a small form factor pc, and, preferably under $500. It needs to be small form factor because it will be mounted behind a tv in a conference room. It will NOT be used for any gaming, only productivity apps such as word, powerpoint, and it needs to be able to run Google Earth. I was thinking about http://www.microcenter.com/product/47749...p_Computer but I would prefer it to be cheaper. http://www.microcenter.com/product/48855...efurbished This would be ideal, but I am not confident it will be able to drive the tv with the i5 4570. http://www.microcenter.com/product/50659...efurbished This is also another option if I threw in a GTX 1050, but I am not sure if the power supply could handle that. Let me know what you think, thanks.

If you are going to use an older CPU, you will not want to rely on the onboard video. You will want a dedicated graphics card for that purpose. If you're just using it for video output a 1050 would suffice, you could probably get away with a 1030 but I would go with a 1050 to be on the safe side. Alternately if you don't want a GPU you could always go with a CPU that has strong onboard video like a Ryzen G or go with a low end, current gen Pentium or i3. Here are a couple of sample systems you could look at:

Thanks for the help, since I needed it today I ended up going with a quadro K620 (the only low profile card available at my local microcenter) and it seems to be working fine so far.
