Apart from the graphics you're OK. I'm not certain that 3200 onboard will do the job of Blu-Ray decode well, unless someone else suggests another course of action I'd drop a HD4550 in there.

The graphics are fine the integrated GPU will do the job, and anyways the 3.0Ghz AMD CPU will be powerful enough for Blu-ray.

I believe the 3200 is the same as on the amd 780g boards, if so it will play blu-ray movies just fine. Gaming is another story, if you want to play anything recent on it you'll want an upgrade, but for movies you are set.

Thanks for the heads up AKM880! I was not sure.

There you go, Joker932-You're good to go as is, not need to spend more money,
enjoy your movies:)

All ATI cards from the HD3K series and up (including the IGP ones) have a UVD2 which was made specifically for Blu-Ray and HD video. So it should not have a problem running Blu-Ray or 1080p as it will take the load off the CPU and also provide better quality than a Blu-Ray player can thanks to AVIVO.

I know at least about the quality because I have a Blu-Ray drive and it looks more amazing than the stores with the players. Gotta love PCs.
