Any old second hand scrap will do. No need to spend money when it will work on free kit.
Personally I am using an old Asus Motherboard, Core 2 Quad 6600 (but was also running fine on a Core 2 Duo). Only have 3GB memory in there. OS Win 8.1 but also happy on Win7. I'd avoid XP as support is being dropped.
Remember - if you don't want to pay for an OS there is Linux Unbuntu (depends what you want to learn).
The only new-ish part I purchased was a nVidia 610 graphics card for the HDMI output.
Whatever kit you start off with you can always upgrade parts later.

Raspberry pi 2 or the b+. The b+ just had a price, but both are less than 50 bucks.

You might consider a NUC or Brix. Raspberry pi isn't going to run windows, which I assume is a requirement for you.

No windows requirement was mentioned. I endorse rpi2, then a bit more expensive, but still cheap, chromebox plus openelec.

I think windows is mentioned as this is the windows section 
. Would make no sense to mention a linux OS in a windows subforum, tbh.

It wouldn't be the first time someone posted in the wrong subforum, or was even unaware of alternatives. Cost was mentioned, and windows is generally a more expensive option, so Linux seems relevant.

You also need to think of what you may want to do in the near future. I have an HP mini laptop, as rack space is at premium, with HDMI/nvidia 2/2/3. I paid 300 bucks for it. It plays 99% fine, but lags on some 1080p video. Whatever you do, focus on CPU, you can't upgrade that.
