I'm currently split between going with an A6-3500 or taking an Intel CPU with a lower TDP (f.e. a 630T) and a GPU like a 6450, 6570 or even an 7750. Budget isn't much of an issue, the TV I'm going to buy will probably cost between 2-3k so I want the best possible experience I can get.If you do a lot of blu-ray transcoding, ripping, editing video, etc in the background while watching blu-ray in full 1080P and bitstreaming HD audio, you want a stronger CPU. It'll get the job done a lot faster.....
You don't need a discrete GPU either. You can opt for this "Intel Core i3-2125 Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz" powerful and yet low TDP Intel CPU......with Intel 3.3GHz cores and HD3000, it should be able to playback blu-ray in 1080P and bitstreaming HD audio........
