Is it advisable to buy a HTPC or PC with the appropriate output ports to connect to a TV?

I understand that 64 bit machines are vital as are good graphics cards etc but what are the preferred external ports? Would a blackmagic HDMI Out Capture Card be the best thing?

Thanks

Acer Revo r3700 Nettop is spot on for XBMC 1080p.

All depends on budget and whether homebuilt or ready made
