I'm a fairly experienced SYSTEM builder, but I've never really put together anything for 1080p playback with Blu Ray drive. Normally I wouldn't need to ask, but this is a mini-itx build with somewhat decent onboard graphic, and so-so dual core processor. I just basically need to know if it will do fine doing 1080p playback from BDROM. Here are the links to the parts. I would just link to wishlist but it hasn't shown up in the public lists yet.

Thanks for any advice or help. I'm pretty sure it could handle it, but I think it's pushing it a bit. I have another build in order but it's pushing almost 500 bucks, and I'm trying to keep it as CLOSE to 400 as possible, while keeping the footprint as small as possible.i didnt know they had blue ray drives for pc yet

technically its software playback so any processor or video would play it
but some may display it at crawl speed
28.00 $ is really on the high side for only 2 gb of ram
if that motherboard can handle 2gigs in 1 stick you could get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820141300
