Welcome to our forums daveag

The specification you have selected is great for what you've described, if a little overkill on the graphics for what you wish to do, assuming you're not playing games like Call of Duty, etc.

You only need one optical disk drive, so you can remove the DVD Writer drive, as the Blu-ray drive will also play CD's and DVD's.

If you're looking for a computer purely to play Blu-ray and surf the net/write documents, emails, etc, then consider a mini-pc: http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/computers/performance-mini-pc/ - these are not really suitable for intensive/prolonged gaming though.
