That looks good. Technically this is cheaper, but you would have to deal with mini-HDMI: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130788

Total costs would be 45$

I think you only need the "flex" card if you're doing eyefinity, but yeah two DVI to HDMI adapters would be all you need with that sapphire.

I'd go a little bit more powerful than a 6450/5450. I think a 6670 would be a better option for smoothness. I know it's not gaming, but still.

Why do you think that? It won't make anything smoother as long as he's just watching movies and not gaming.
