I have a Bravia 1080p panel with an Onkyo reciever with 5.1 surround. My current 6 year old dual-core Dell has only stereo output and unreliable FPS. What I'm looking for is a PC that can play 1080p movies via HDMI into my bravia (Including VC-1) and output 5.1 surround into the Onkyo (The Onkyo accepts HDMI, Optical etc).
I don't need anything else, its not for gaming and I keep the PS3 for 3D Bluray. Really, I don't wanna buy anything more than is necessary for the above, I was looking at some options but just realised they were probably overkill. I'm a hardware noob to be honest.
What should I be looking for? I'll be using XBMC on PC, I just found it last night and I'm very excited to use it.
