[GeneralPsycho]

Thanks Generalpsycho, to be quite honest the price is the only thing that has me looking at this system... the graphics cards performance is going to be a bit of a mystery the 'hybrid sli' function allows the onboard graphics and 8500GT which comes with the package to work together... at up to 40% fater than the onboard alone... though the performance of the onboard is not good. Together it would probably(?) better than what I have right now.

Edit: KG64_cnopicilin, this is my budget essentially... there isn't much in my current system compatible with this - thats the issue, upgrading isn't an option with such an old system. Standard things like disk dirves will be swapped in. I imagine my ram would hamstring the faster stuff with the bundle - though I'll give it a go just to see the results.

What I would suggest, wait a couple of months, get more money, and with maybe 1000 dollars, you can build a system that will play this game no problem including all the mods.
