Goal: Be able to run 1080P movies

What I need:

- AM2 CPU
- GPU
- Sound Card w/ Optical Out (Dolby Digital & DTS) upgrade when i get better receiver

What I've came up with:

- $35.99 AMD Sempron X2 2200 2.0GHz 2 x 256KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core Processor
(worried this might not be powerful enough. Also 3000+ heatsink should work right?)

- $29.99 POWERCOLOR AX3450 256MD2-H Radeon HD 3450 256MB

- $29.67 Turtle Beach RIVIERA 5.1 Channels 24-bit 48KHz PCI Interface Sound Card

TOTAL: $95.65

What it already has:

- Case
- MSI K9VGM-V Motherboard
- 2 GB 800 ddr2 G-Skill
- 3000+ Single Core
- Couple Hard drives
- DVD Burner
- Power Supply
 
thanks, went with the 4650. My friend said he was having trouble with XBMC lagging w/ onboard 780g board so try something a little more powerful.

that would be the fault of the cpu or it was an older build of xbmc (which was pretty crappy until the recent release).
