    A completely new system. Your processor is weak, and you have an integrated video card. No config is going to get you a playable frame rate, and your motherboard is more than likely AGP which means that you can't buy a very good video card.

    Posted by boiler rat Well buddy im saying my buddy http://www.newegg.com/ has all the best stuff im suggesting if you want 60 fps im not pro with computers but i think you should get about 4gb ram total nvidia 9600 SLI with about 500 some mb of video memory dual core prorcessor

    Please don't give advice if you don't really know what you're talking about.

    I suggest you build your own system. I'm not really sure what good a picture of a computer would do, what the case looks like doesn't affect performance.

    I wouldn't buy a prebuilt computer. I'd build it myself. As for the parts, that really depends on how much you want to spend.

    You could try using some parts from your current pc if you plan to spend that much.
