System upgrade questions

by jeffzz421 . Updated 18 years, 1 month ago

So I love technology soo much, well too much really. I want to build my own machine from the ground up and have an idea of what I need. The problem is what I want, as in I keep drooling over stuff like the newest .5gb plus ddr3 video cards and so on.

Basically I NEED a simple, efficient, HDCP compliant system so I can watch my dvd’s on my new flat screen tv. My question is, if I only plan to watch hd movies, should I go for a baic HDCP system, such as a mobo with it built in as far as video?

or should I go for something a little better that still would not be too expensive such as a dual pci x16 board with a couple cheapie sli cards?
