That's so cool. Amazing!

Anyhow, I have an i5 2500k, gtx 560TI, 8 gb ram and some cheap mobo that broke once, but got replaced for free and works now. So I should be fine. runs bf3 on med-high quite well. ( minus the fact that the game is terrible)

Im not as optimistic for the other pc. Its a core 2 duo @ 2.13 GHz with a 8600gts, 2 gb ram (hopefully it will become 4gb soon ) Probably just under the bubble
