I'm looking to purchase a PCI-E graphics card so i can watch hi def movies through my 1080p TV. Could anyone recommend a budget to mid range card ? I don't play games. Also are there any other factors I need to consider such as CPU, ram PSU etc... Thanks for any replies * +

Not with bluray movies or some HD movies because of DRM. Why do you need a PC for HD movies and not a bluray player/DVR etc. Any modern PC with a dual core and any modern graphics card will run 1080p video without any problems at all * +
