Today Corsair announced at Computex the Bulldog, a DIY PC built exclusively to bring 4K gaming to the living room. Composed of a DIY kit with a stylish gaming console-sized chassis, liquid CPU cooler, power supply, and motherboard, and designed with plenty of space for customization and upgrades, Bulldog provides the foundation for users to build the ultimate living room PC. Using its proprietary liquid CPU and GPU cooling technology, Corsair condensed the desktop PC computing performance into Bulldog’s compact form factor. An early version of Bulldog is on display at Computex 2015, with availability expected in early Q4.

You'll still have to purchase a GPU to put into the system, but Corsair also announced a partnership with NVIDIA to support eForce GTX Titan X, GTX 980, GTX 970, and the just announced GeForce GTX 980 Ti provided by MSI.  Presumably, you could also put in any other GPU that has the proper dimensions to fit in the rig. 

See the full list of features in the Bulldog, and its controller station called the "Lapdog" which aims to bring the complexity and depth of PC/Mouse controls to the couch for the new Bulldog systems.
