I'm building a HTPC for PMP and want to keep the cost down. Will the G4400 suffice? It's got a passmark score of 3821.I will be going with a Skylake MB with the H110 chipset, again, to keep the cost down (and be able do re-use my DDR3 RAM). I will use the integrated graphics.
I'm hooking it up to my tv through a reciever, so I most of the time I won't be doing any transcoding. I have a Chromecast, so that will probably be used every once in a while.
