I want you to plz spec me a cpu and mobo for a system that will do nothing othere that play hd films.

Price = as low cost as poss :-D
The onboard gfx must be up the the job so I dont have to run a card
Low power cpu would be nice but not realy bothered as saving 50w is about £2 a year saving

Checked that board on the Asus site, it's got no HDMI.

Here you go OP, an AMD edition:

YOUR BASKET
1 x AMD A4-3300 2.50GHz (Socket FM1) APU Processor (AD3300OJGXBOX) £41.99
1 x ASRock FM1 A55M-HVS AMD Chipset (Socket FM1) DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard £39.98

Both Intel and AMD builds will handle 1080p just fine. It's up to you if you want the Intel or the AMD build.

The Intel one I posted in #5 is the cheapest so far, but the AMD one can do a bit of light gaming.
