intel Pentium Processor E5500 2.8Gh

Acer G45T motherboard

8gigs of ram. (was ram i had laying around not sure what kind)

1TB WD harddrive

GTS 250 Nvidia Graphics card

Antec 650 PSU 80Plus Bronze

LG DVD RW drive

Sound Blaster X-Fi sound card.

tested it out last night and runs the game almost at max. take away water detail and it runs at 60FPS

still my LCD tv as a monitor i cant figure out how to get it to power down when i shut down my computer. any ideas?

so with eye candy turned on yes i drop well below 30.

with all eye candy turned off i dont drop below 45.

however i believe with another upgrade to aces high it will struggle.

What is a good cheap mother board and processor that will do well for a few years

prolly a mobo that supports 3.0 usb

kilz if you dont have money for a good cpu and mobo then may I suggest you wait a month or two?  you are looking at about 400 bucks 220+for cpu and 160 for mobo.  and perhaps different ram too.

you will also need another vc.
