If you're getting a large monitor, the x1650 just won't do - it's an old card and it will struggle at high resolutions. I would reccomend the quad i5 , even though I don't have much experience with Intel's recent CPUs (I presume the 5 series have less cache than the 7's?)... but think ahead - Storm of War most probably will make use of multicore CPUs (I would be very dissapointed if it doesn't).

Personally, I went with the best tri-core AMD. Cheaper than a quad, better then a dual in any way -
