Will this system play blu-ray?

I have an HP S3300t slimline PC. It has a Core 2 Duo 2.2ghz processor and 2gb of ram. The onboard video is Geforce 7100 (rgb only).

I want to add a blu-ray player to it and make it an HTPC. I figure the video card isn't up to the task, so I'm thinking of purchasing a low-profile ATI 4650 card with 512mb of ram and HDMI out.

I want to play blu-ray discs and 720/1080 video files on my tv. Will this setup work well? It has a 10/100 network card. Can I stream HD content from a NAS without gigabit speeds?
 
It'll be okay once you upgrade the onboard video. That shit is only usable, and just barely for being better then Intel's garbage and for playing DVDs.
 
A 4350 or 4550 is more than enough for Blu ray and only runs about $40. I used a 4550 in my htpc for awhile and it was fine.
