Last January I had to admit that my Computer no longer can compete with the average setup in AH. So I left.
Now I have to buy components for a new system because some parts of my old one start to fail.
Would the listed components be good enough for playing AH?
I don't need all the settings maxed out, I don't need Antialiasing. I'm happy with a compromise (priority of performance over quality).
Special question: Is it true, that a 256bit bus on the Graphic Card is important for a screen resolutions over 1500x1000 (or so)?
System will be Windows 7
Screen resolution 1680x1050
