Espacially for a simulation game ! Have a look at the Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti SOC, wich is almost as good as the 580, and costs "only" 260 euros (best price i found)

4) Not really important, but combo will be good (save a bit of power needed)

Regards.

The Phenom II X4 9XX is MORE than capable of handling this game. ITs as fast as most if not all i5 cpu's and some i7 when overclocked.
