Questions regarding hardware

I am pretty sure the GPU in the Intel 6500 will not work with the 4k HDR content if it needs to be transcoded. Due to it not supporting 10 bit HEVC.

If your playback device supports the video codec natively, no transcoding occurs so no need to worry about GPU support.

From what I can find, the 5600G can transcode 4k HDR H265 content.

It sounds like you have both CPUs in hand. Why not give both a try and report back with your experience? I'm curious how good the transcodes are from the 5600G.
