Thinking of buying the following as a relatively cheap 4K HDR upgrade (HDR for Leia).
ASROCK FATAL1TY Z170 GAMING-ITX - http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty%...ing-ITXac/ (multiple reports it will do 4k@60Hz & HDR & HDCP2.2, has HDMI2.0a via the onboard DP to HDMI converter)
Intel Celeron G3930 - https://ark.intel.com/products/97452/Int...e-2_90-GHz
The CPU is only £35, GT1 tier graphics but I don't need any more and all the video decoding stuff is fixed. Motherboard isn't hugely expensive but it's a pity there's no very cheap ITX board for Kaby Lake (with HDMI2.0a). DDR4 is needed too. All in all it seems like a reasonable upgrade for an existing ITX build. The mobo has an optical output which is nice, current setup requires a workaround to get DTS to audio decoder. Little bit concerned about negative reports on reliability for the ASROCK board but I'll go with it.
