Thanks Gearjammer, I have been thinking along those lines and its good to hear other, perhaps more knowledgable, people agree.
I have worked my behind off for 6 months to be able to save up the money needed to buy a nice pc with a GTX680. Looking at the game now I really think it was good thing I didn't settle for less. Patience is a good thing. Pays off in the end. I'm having the time of my life!
