My board will be need to be upgraded if I change the cpu of course. Its a basic intel pentium dual core with 2.8 ghz : ( My GPU is a Nvidia 8800 GTS and has served me well through battlefield 2 and league of legends lol. Price is kinda an issue seeing I bought my first car a few months back and own quite a note. AMD is more bang for the buck but Intel has more features. looking to spend maybe 350 on a board ram and cpu. AMD runs this game well? I heard it is was rigged more towards intel..
