I apologize if this is a stupid question... I've pretty much switched to Macs for most of my computing so I've lost track of PC hardware.

I have a Athlon 64 3500, 2GB ram, Geforce 6800GS 256MB pci express.

I am getting a 1080p-capable HDTV and would like to hook up a computer. If my goal is a HTPC which will play back any file format that is common today (including 1080p content) without skipping or any other issues, how are my specs compared to what would be needed?

What formats/resolutions/bitrates would I start to have trouble at?
