You could have just looked at the game minimum requirements.

[Hoppah]

Nope, you need at least a Quad Core 4 Ghz, 16 GB RAM, GTX 295 in Quad SLI and 5 TB of free disc space to make it run on 640 x 480. AT LEAST. I mean... Anything older will just blow up your computer as soon you try to load the game and you will likely get killed in the blast. Can't help it.

[Newfoundking]

Yes! See Hoppah creates productive thinking too!

How'd you think we afforded our systems?

[Stan]

For info my system:

AMD Phenom II x4 955
Asus M4A79T Deluxe
3 x 2gb DDR3 ram
3 Terabyte of HDD space
ATI Radeon HD4890 OCed

To answear your question, yes it will work

TIP: 27 inch might be huge for a pc screen, I got 24 now and I really regret it because I think it too huge.

Hey, the LA mod looked great on a 50 inch plasma screen while hanging on the couch with a cold beer in my hand.

I thought the same thing when i went from a 17 or 18 inch to a 24 inch, but after a few hours of use, and to this day i love it! I dont regret it for a minute!

hmmmm i should make a computer with 4 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 300 Grpahics cards, a 60 inch OLED TV, and like 20 TB of RAM

There is no GTX 300 but for $360 you could get the best card on the market:

It kills the GTX 280

so yes to 27 inch or no to 27 inch, I want a 27 inch so I can do better drawings of vehicles and watc movies without buying a tv ?

Sure, just make sure you have a PC powerful enough to support it. The 9800 GT in the PC you linked to is bit weak for a 27 inch display imo.

actually, NVIDIA is coming out with the GTX 300 before 2009 ends

Go with Intel's Core i7. You can get a good Core i7 system from Cyberpower for $1500 or so. OC the CPU and GPU and you'll have a kickass system. Core i7 920 D0 stepping is THE CPU for gaming (esp. since they can hit 4 GHz with good cooling and a little voltage).

Or better yet, build it yourself.

One thing to note most pre-built gaming systems have a weak GPU, you'll want to upgrade to at least a GTX 2xx card (or wait for the GT300 cards).

@ Xplorer. Since when is the 4870X2 the fastest card on the market? The GTX 295 smokes a 4870X2. Esp. the single PCB version.

So like i said...

or get a ATI card for $20-$50 less, that will out perform every GTX2xx card except the 295. Keep in mind though the 48xx series was never designed to compete with the GTX295. The 49xx series is, and is said to be redesigned from the ground up.

As far as the i7, I couldnt agree more.

Sorry i do stand corrected. I believe I was thinking of the 5870 X2 due out soon.

I beg to differ.Take a look at this link and tell me what you think. Pay special attention to the awards section at the end.

I don't see the need of getting the best most expensive card.. look at what you'll need, and get that, maybe something stronger, so it'll be good later on too... But look at it this way, however good it is, it'll be outdated in a month or so, they are rolling out better versions every month or less, and if not them, their competitors, you cannot stay on top of the computer system game, so just get what you need with a bit more power, and you'll be good to go..

That's my opinion, take it for what you want it, but I'm just trying to help
