I'm building a media centre pc for my parents, but it's been years since I've built anything media wise (I have 2 of my own that are now a bit dated and don't like full 1080p hd).
Anyway, was wondering if you guys might beable to help.. will onboard graphics from a motherboard that has HDMI out (such as: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/200985) beable to output full 1080p HD? or will I need a dedicated HD graphics card to do that?
Basically trying to build them something that looks good and can play full HD, but for not a huge amount of money, probably £300-400 max, so being able to output full HD with onboard graphics on a mobo would be a big help, but as I say I have no idea

If you get the right onboard graphics you will be fine i.e. I have a Atom with the ION2 and it does all the decoding onboard. It will play full bluray 1080p without any problems.

yeah that will work fine, tbf if you use coreAVC codec to decode HD files you can get away with a lot less spec wise.
