After all my research, you need over 2.6 ghz to play 1080p and 2.9ghz to be on the safe side. The rest just comes down to connectors. If you have over 2.6ghz and can not play 1080p, make sure you turn speedstep/cool and quiet off. I am on my HTPC and run a cheap GF8200 chip motherboard and an AMD 56...

I had just grab the HD5850 now though. Same price as GTX260SLI, i think about 80% the performance and at a later crossfire, will kill it. So I prefer it.

I have D-Link DSL-G604T wireless router together with a DWL-G122 wireless USB adaptor as a kit. With the wireless adaptor plugged in to PC and the router right next to it, I could get a perfect connection for it so there is no problem regarding connection.

You can use logitech mx5500 revolution keyboard. It is quite silent and comfortable and it also runs on bluetooth technology. In sile\nt mouse so you can choose Thanko Silent Mouse. It is the best option for mouse.
