The area where I'm currently living doesn't sell any affordable comps that'll run EU. I'm currently looking into building my own computer (wont actually be putting it together myself), but as it's my first time I thought I'd ask some advice. Don't want to go too crazy with cost, but I'd like a decent computer that'll last for awhile. This is what I've got so far:

Phenom II x3 720
Asus M4A78-E
ATI HD 4830 or 4850
2x2GB Kingston Ram (maybe a bit more?)
1TB HD


Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thx all.
 
Get the 4870. You can the run on very high.

If you'll stick more RAM , you'll have to go with the 64bit OS , since 32bit cant take more than that.

As for HDD , i'd suggest you to get a smaller and a bit faster one for the OS and some programs and a support one for other crap.

vista and w7 in 32 bit can usually access about 3.5 gb.

Running for me right now. I have set everything to very high apart from shading + shadow to just medium which keeps the GPU at about 65% and the fan below 50% running so its very quiet.
