    This is the computer this guy reccomends for the game.

    Soo... this seems to be pretty accurate.. there's some discussion about the graphic card (some say 8600) but this should do it.

    If you dont want a new comp, this is what you should have

    Thanks for that onboard Graphics Card, Dell. You're a real pal.

    Lol that 700watt PSU is too much for everything else.

    (Prices are determined without S&H and after rebate)
    200GB SATA HDD - $50
    C2D e7200 - $120
    Corsair 2GB RAMs - $20
    EVGA 9800GT - $110
    CM Case - $50
    LITE-ON CD drive - $20
    500watt PSU - $30
    PCIe2.0 MOBO - $ 90

    Total: $490

    Or, you could try your luck by buying a bare bone system, might sometimes be cheaper than buiding a new one from the ground up.

    .... I've never liked Kalos' articles but this is the worst .. Those recommended requirements are ridiculous. I can play Supreme Commander fine with medium-max quality settings and my computer isn't half of that.
