Thinking about dumping cable TV and going to an internet based Multimedia scenario.
NO gaming- just watching Prime and Netflicks, sports, etc.
Want good 4K video and great audio via HDMI 2.0 from PC-> Denon 3400H receiver and then to 4K TV.
Already have a case, 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, 650 watt Gold PSU, keyboard/mouse.
Best/cheapest route would probably be to use a Ryzen 3400G = $140, with a good MOBO = $140 and then what what I have read do not need a GPU. YES/NO??

Total= $280
So, would this do the job? Or is all the hype about the 3400G a bunch of garbage? If I have to buy a GPU then I will probably go Intel ( I just had had better luck with them) .
