Hello,
can anyone recomment a CPU + mobo combination ideal for HD media playback on pc / blue - ray playback, which is at least reasonably priced?

thanks

Only a fairly low end CPU is necessary for Blu-Ray playback.

AMD Llano A4-3400 for $65.

GIGABYTE GA-A55M-DS2 mobo for $50 after rebate. There's also a code to bring down the price by another 10%.

that would be ok for 3D movies too, in full 1080p?
