That game isn't demanding at all, but you do have a huge monitor. Will you be trying any other games?

thanks you, do you have any suggestion for intel? or AMD is the best solution for me?

at this time yes... I would act fast and get the 920 combo before its sold out.

I agree... if you miss out on the combo, you'll be stuck with an X3 or X2. An Intel quad alternative would likely cost around $50 more. Though, you don't need a quad for your game. A dual core is all thats needed, like the AMD X2 7750 Kuma.
