I would like to play 1080p files, wont be gaming, and wont be playing any bluray/hddvd discs

I understand that XBMC doesnt use hardware acceleration, but would still like a recommendation for a card that would playback 1080p HD content flawlessly when playing files through windows

I am also happy to add an SSD drive to run the O/S from, 30 or 80 gig version, but i dont think that makes a difference to the upgrade.

Thanks for your input
