Nice one Tavingon! That will run the game just fine, even in it's current state.

S!

Only thing I would upgrade later is the GPU, but otherwise looks like a very solid package Congrats!

Call me daft but is that the graphics card? Was looking at more expensive cards but I was just a touch over budget and though the ati card would do for now.. can always splash out on a monster card next year I did look at the 6950 but on comparison sites it only seemed to have roughly 10percent performance (over 6870), so I wait for next generation

Cool, that is where I get my systems from usually and I can not fault them. I have a similar system in mind but I am waiting for the new z77 boards to be released to see how they fair, it's an awkward time at the moment with everything incoming.

Actually the boards are already available but they have little to offer with a Sandy Bridge CPU, just USB 3.0 support. Little to see wrt Z77 just yet.

HOWEVER ... when the Ivy Bridge CPU's finally come out (supposedly in about a month) the Z77's will suddenly be the flavor of the month (at least amongst those that can afford an Ivy Bridge processor)

Its going to be interesting when the patch comes out. At the moment its reckoned that 1Gb isn't really enough but that could (?) change with the patch. Hope so as my GTX570 only has 1.28Gb.

BUT I'm not looking to restart that discussion here Just a point to bear in mind.

S!

If the devs have focused on performance issues then I guess, that the game should run better on lower end systems too And if recollecting all the tidbits from Luthier's posts you can see they had to do some quite extensive work there to fix what was broken or not optimized properly. So yes, let's see when patch is out how it goes! Keeping thumbs up!

PC arrived today, a massive treat.. been setting everything up.. CLOD is installing now via steam.. I can't bear the wait!

How much did you spend and where did you get it from?, if you don't mind me asking. I am currently saving for a full rebuild within the next 2 months hopefully.
