I am looking to build a itx based HTPC and want to know if the HD Graphics 2500 built into this processor is going to handle playback 1080p video well. This will not be used for any gaming, just playback of video files across my network and local DVD/Blu-ray discs. This system will probably have 4GB of RAM, unless there is a good deal on an 8GB kit.

I have a GTX 560ti that I could use, but would prefer not to for the sake of power consumption, heat, and size.
