From what I have been reading, PowerDVD needs an Intel Kaby Lake or higher processor. But what if you are not using the integrated GPU for bluray UHD playback?
I was hoping I can get an NVidia 10/11 (when 11 comes out) series GPU and use that along side a Ryzen 2700X that's coming out in a few days. I would think that if I had at least this I can do this build. I would think that the new Ryzen 2 would have instructions similar to Intel's SGX to support Ultra HD playback.
I could also do an 8700K but for gaming, how long that would last before it would be considered obsolete.
The computer would mostly be a Gaming/Bluray playback build.
Currently running an i7-3770K with a GTX 980.
Thanks everyone.
