My old media centre is showing its age and the Athlon 64 3200 processor cant cope with decoding HD media.

Im after a motherboard, processor, cooler (quiet as possible) and ram(1gb or 2gb) to decode/play 720p x264 MKV files.

I was thinking of getting:-

Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H AMD 780G Micro-ATX (Socket AM2) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
along with a AMD AM2 4050e processor.

Would this be powerful enough to play 720p x264 MKV files?
