What do you use the PC for? Any gaming? Or just general browsing and home office stuff?

 

[ClaytonJoness]

No gaming just general browsing. I’d just like to make use of the full resolution of the TV

Then the cheapest thing you can find with HDMI 2.0, or a displayport output. Something like the Geforce 1030.

I haven't done an exhaustive search but there's the "MSI NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 2GB Passive OC Low Profile Graphics Card" on sale for about £65 (google it) which has DP and HDMi 2.0, thus should have you covered.

The GTX 1030s that PCS sell have DVI and HDMI, not HDMI and DP, and seem to cost £61. HDMI 2.0 should still be fine for your needs mind you. But getting a 1030 with DP and HDMI probably gives you more options.

Note that some 4k monitors only have HDMI 1.4, not 2.0, and so you need to connect them with a displayport input. And some 4k TVs will have several HDMI inputs, but only one HDMI 2.0 one (I think). You didn't say what model of monitor or TV you bought, an d whether you're plugging other things into it besides your PC.
