Smith is a bag of douche,FACT.
I would suggest nothing below Pentium D 920/ AMD X2 3800 and ATI X1600/Nvidia 7600.You need a CPU to decode video. The card has little effect (unless you have some weird decoder that uses DXVA, but they are rare and don't really help that much).
If you want future proof system, get a Conroe E6400/X2 4600 as they're cheaper now.
Of course you can watch 720p with a slower system but...
well don't forget, you need a decent monitor that can handle hd at that level too.
...
Anything over an Athlon 3500+ should be good enough. Also, I believe 6200s are built with a separate chip of somesort for watching HD media.
