If you want to stay on the save side i wouldn't go beyond Haswell Gen. Intel CPU's and AMD bevore Ryzen... no, not for video editing on big screens, if it comes to compression. Have a look on a used Dell T1700 like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Precision-T1700-Workstation-Tower-Quad-Core-8GB-256GB-SSD-DVDRW-Win-10-Pro-/172616890261 (Imho the build in graphic card would have to be replaced for 4K output http://www.nvidia.com/object/nvs-product-overview.html ) Should work with almost any recent open source OS for x86_64 Good luck!
