yes how much is that cpu and will it be fine for 1080p films the onboard card that is,thanks

thanks TALON was looking at that one,do you use the cooler that came with it if so is it quiet cheers

The 780G can run bluray ok with a sempron. With a dual core athlon and 785G then no problems with 1080p at all.

thanks,going to put a AMD Phenom II X2 Dual Core 545 3.00GHz on it and just use the onboard vga for blu-ray and if needed will put a extra card in for games when i want to,thanks
