I am planning on housing a mini PC on my TV stand, beneath my TV and PS4, and using my TV as my gaming display instead of my current laptop. My needs are simple: I want something that will perform as well as my current gaming machine, but that will sit easily on one of my TV stand shelves which are around 220mm in height. See below for the spec:

I don't have a specific budget at the minute, because I'm not really sure how much I can get for my money in the mini PC bracket.

Your advice and opinions would be helpful! :p
