One more thing, make sure your TV is in 'Game Mode' or something similar when gaming on it, most TVs nowadays have this function. Otherwise at your current distance you should be OK with the HDMI. If you think in the future you might move to a different place or move your TV to a different room, Steam Link is worth getting at this price. You are able to minimize Steam Big Picture mode and basically mirror your desktop, allowing you to browse, stream video and whatnot. You can connect a good amount of wireless controllers directly to the Steam Link, some of them work natively, without the need of the USB dongle which often costs more than $15 and also keyboard/mouse and probably all wired controllers, which is one of the strong points for me. Steam Link is great if your TV is in a separate room where HDMI is not a great option. Also, you can play ALL games through the cable, not only the ones in your Steam library, though Steam allows you to add non-steam games, however controller support might not be there. HDMI cable is an easy solution if your TV is close and offers more flexibility such as extended desktop, being able to watch video on 1 screen while gaming on the other, which Steam Link can't do, but all your controls/peripherals go directly through the PC.
