SPEC of GPU needed for this..

[BringTheRain]

Im looking at building a new pc.

And i would like a gpu that will cope with converting films, watching films and blu ray capable.

My pc will be plugged into a hd tv

I run low res. Something like 1080 x 960 or something like that

NO GAMING on pc

Budget up to £100

Thanks

Thats CHEAP

Urm and that would cope with blu ray films?

Is there anything that looks a bit a nice, like the gtx range without the price tag?

i would like a gpu otherwise, im just gonna have a mobo and thats it at this rate lol

 

[BringTheRain]

Thats a result then,

So if i get an am3 mobo- the most expensive one. that would cope with blu ray 100%??

thanks for the help so far

My pc is plugged into the tv as the moment.

The blu ray player will be inside the pc. So i dont know how i can plug that into the tv??

Them cards look ok. I think i would like a GPU with HDMI built in tbh

Still stuck on what to get at the moment.

But im starting to like the idea of using a mobo with built in GPU

Sorry to bring this topic, back from the dead. Didnt see the point in making a new thread

But i wanted to double check a few things before i order my Blu Ray player and GPU

My tv is 1080i and it runs at 1360 x 768 (that the highest it will go for the pc input)

Im assuming, if i buy one of the GPU's recommended above and then a blu ray player for the pc. I wont have any issues at all?

And i have a spare hdmi slot on my pc - So i can plug my tv straight into the GPU?

Thanks

 

[BringTheRain]

Yeah thats fine. But i just wanted to know about connectivity.

Can i just get:
suitable gpu
blu ray player
hdmi lead and plug it all in together into my hdmi slot on tv and run at like 720p/1080i ?
