Blu-ray player Help

I just installed my Blu-ray player that I bought. Now I need help deciding what player to get. I'm thinking PowerDvd 17 Ultra for the VR support. It is currently 69 on their site and 99 on steam. Think I'll go for the steam version.

Also, I have a question. It seems there's a lot of controversy about the specs needed for the Program. Will it run fine on my rig? Both monitor and VR? I don't plan on 4K, I don't have a 4K monitor. I do have a 3440 x 1440 tho.

Here are my current specs:

Burner software. I don't think it's playback software.

Will it play any and all blu-rays? Also, I took a look, looks like menu support is lack luster on it, or am I looking at old problems?

All DVD and BD disks have worked at least on my computer. Linux Mint, i 5-3350P, 8Gb DDR3, GeForce Gt 730. From the Menu menu, you can select a region code.

There's also WinDVD as an alternative to PowerDVD for a paid solution. Give Kodi and/or VLC a try though, they are both free and have improved over the last year in handling Blu-rays.
