heres what they told us, for smooth play at 1680x1050 you will need:

c2duo 2,8 Ghz (lets say E8400 on stock is more than enough, overclocked even better)
Ati Radeon 4850 or Nvidia 9800GTX/GTX+ (for 24" monitors and 1920 res ill choose 4870 or GTX260)
3-4 gigs of RAM
app. 6 Gigs of free HDD space
Access to the Internet: At least 512 Kb/s ( opp. I think 2mbps would be optimal)

MY statement was Absolutely True...

"ROF have separated threads architecture, so two/four cores will work. Actually we have exact numbers of trials of core duo vs core quad, and core quad works 30-40% faster than core duo with ROF."

Also you have an upgrade path with the new Core I7 1366 socket that the next generation Intel cpus will use. Your upgrade path is basicly dead if you stay with dual core 775 socket.

The system that you suggest will run ROF fine but if your building a new system why not build something that will run ROF and SOW better with some future proofing.
