Personally I would try LibreELEC in a x86_64 Intel i5 first. LE can even be run entirely from a USB stick, completely seperate from the existing OS:

An i5 should easily be able to CPU software decode H265 (HEVC) content:

4K HEVC, which will mostly be 10bit will need HEVC hardware decoding.
Note you are REALLY limited in your hardware choices if you want 1080p 3D support.
