Should I buy a new Pc to play SH5 - Page 2

Buy an intel computer with support for SSE 4.1 (And 4.2). Get a GTX 280 or newer, its extremely important with a good graphics card with this (and other games). The difference between a good rig with a bad graphics card and a medium good rig with a good graphics card is incredible. Don't buy the second best thing when it comes to a graphics card. I see too many people being cheap there and as soon as they fire up a game, they start to complain.

Based on price and taking into account you already have ATI the 5750 is ample.

And dont fall for the 'Graphics memory' con either.
With a graphics card you get what you pay for everytime, for instance: a 50$ card with 2GB memory is almost certainly going to be a pile of crap compared to a $100 with 1GB, the differcence being that the more expensive card will have a faster GPU core - which is far more influencial on your games performance than a few MB of Memory..
Also 'Faster memory' is better than 'More memory' where Video cards are concerned.
