budget???
I personally would go with something like this:
Antec NSK 2480 Desktop Case - Black/Silver (380W Earth Watts PSU)
OcUK Brushed Aluminium Blu-Ray ROM Slot Loading Drive - Black (Retail)
Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5300 "LGA775 Core 2" 2.60GHz (800FSB) - Retail
OCZ Gold Edition 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 Dual Channel Series (OCZ2G8004GK)
Asus P5QPL-AM Intel G41 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Samsung EcoGreen F2 1.5TB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM (HD154UI)
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium - Retail (Full Version)
Total : £464.86 (inc £11 delivery).
The onboard should play 1080p no trouble, but if not you can just slip in a £30 nvidia/ati fanless job.

I have just ordered myself OcUK's Verso Avenger, based on the Shuttle SN78SH7 barebones system, including the optional Geforce 9800GT and Windows 7 64-bit. This system is geared towards high-definition playback.
