I have a 4K 120Hz TV that I have blocked from internet access on my router (because it is spyware with no way to turn off the built in microphone) and I have a desktop that supports 4K but I don’t want to run my desktop into the ground streaming on it all the time.

I’d like one that isn’t American I guess if that really matters (seems like it kind of does) but I noticed options are limited unless you want to spend $600 on a mini PC which I don’t.

I’d like to spend like $200 max if possible for this if possible.

    They’re designed to run constantly, and your GPU is designed to run with some heat. I highly doubt you’re maxing out either like you would with a demanding game. Fans are much cheaper than a new separate device, and your GPU will become outdated long before it dies to wear and tear.
