Windows yes, Linux no (with the default XBMC Live).
With Linux you ALWAYS want an Nvidia card. A GT430 has all the bells and whistles (aka 3D support), but even a GT210 will play every 1080p file you can find (I promise, I have tested more than anyone).
With that said, an i5 can tear through anything on any OS by itself.
