Hi everyone,

I'm just gonna cut to the chase and tell you what i'm doing and asking what i need.

I have a Windows 10 PC battlestation right now but since i'm getting older i'm feeling the need to go wireless and clean and gaming isn't in my interest anymore (except Hearthstone). I bought a Macbook Pro 2016 13" nTB when it was released and i just it solely from watchijg Netflix and surfing or reading my mails.

I was checking reddit on some brutally clean mac setups and i saw alot of "I/O Macbook" photos and i fell in love with it.
So here i am, creating my own Mac setup.

First of all, here is what i have:

Macbook Pro 2016 13" nTB
USB-C -> DP cable
Acer X34 32" Widescreen (DP & HDMI port)
Synology NAS 716+II

1)I was looking to put a dock, like the Elgato TB3, but is it an upgrade?

2) Second thing is i have a 55" 4K HDR tv and i was wondering if the Macbook can stream 4K through plex?
Or can i put a USB-C -> HDMI cable in it and play the 4K file on my TV?

What i'm about to buy? (correct me if i don't need these things)

Macbook holder (Satechi vertical stand) so i can close the Macbook
Apple keyboard
Apple trackpad 2

Do i need anything else and can it play 4K?

Thx in advance!
