We have merged ffmpeg 2.5 into kodi - so any early adapters could test if there are some hevc improvements -if you like.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

With a 4790k at normal clock (4.5ghz) i get average 40 fps with all 8 cores going to 90% constand converting a good h,264 mkv for test with the quality setting in handbrake to default very fast..
With the CPU at 4.9ghz i go to 50fps.
The same file with quality to medium i get average 12 fps and with the cpu at 4.9ghz 16 fps
From what i see is not too bad... but keep in mind this, in handbrake settings in video you need to DISABLE dvxa2 or else you get very low FPS.
There's no substitute for experience

when i encode a stock x265 file (mp4) in Handbrake nightly, it plays with Kodi (openelec 5) but skips frames. ~16-17 fps reach the screen. how to fix?

If most blu rays are encoded at .264 and we rip them to .265 would I be right in thinking, we're still just going to lose quality because the source codec is inferior?
In a best case scenario there might be a tradeoff level of compression where there's very little data lost but smaller files than the original disc, right?

Every re-encode loses quality.
