Suggestions for 4k compatible motherboard and graphics

Hi everyone! I am upgrading my HTPC and my primary usage is playing UHD Blu Rays using PowerDVD and online streaming from Netflix/Youtube.


PowerDVD 18 system requirements: https://www.cyberlink.com/products/p...pec_en_US.html


Here is what I am thinking of getting:
1. Processor - Intel Core i5-9600K
2. Motherboard - Asus Prime Z390A

3. Graphics - Asus GTX1060



The Intel Core i5-9600K processor works with Intel 370 and 390 based motherboards. I am aware that this chipset includes Intel HD 630 graphics, which is implemented by motherboard manufacturers with a HDMI 1.4b port.


PowerDVD specifies this on their page: Ultra HD Blu-ray is supported only if a display is powered by Intel Graphics and supports HDCP 2.2. If your computer includes more than one graphics processor, Ultra HD Blu-ray is supported only on the display that is connected and powered by Intel Graphics.


I can add a GeForce 1060 or higher graphics card that would support HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2, but can anyone confirm if PowerDVD would have any limitations with it or does it force usage of integrated Intel graphics?
