Blu ray Drive

Thinking of buying a Blu ray reader to watch back movies would my system be able to play back in 1080i?

Asus P5Q Pro
E8400 3.6Ghz
9800GT

Im not sure if the only factor is the GFX so i listed the main stuff, also any recommendations for the best drive for the job?

Your system will be fine for playing BR dvd's, as regards the drive I'm not sure I have the Pioneer drive in my media center which works well. But you will need a media player software which supports BR playback, I use Cyberlink power dvd.

doesn't that pioneer come with the cyberlink? it is listed in the specs as included, or is that just wrong?

I got an LG one that came with Cyberlink player and things, always a plus!
