    Hi qace11,

    Well just by looking at what you wrote i can save you alot of time we dont need the detailed vers. of what you have it alot of technical jargon i beleive;

    but the answer to your question is this
    CPU = 3.2 Quad Core ---- GOOD!
    Video Card = HD 1gb 256-bit ---- GOOD!
    But how much Ram do you have? if its over 2gig of ram, then yeah it will run.

    CPU: 8/10 - a power hungry monster for what it is, but reasonably cheap for the performance it offers.
    Mobo: 7/10 - my maximum rating for Asus boards now due to the likelihood of failure. The 790FX is the best chipset to have for AMD
    GPU: 10/10 - unbeatable single GPU performance
    HDD: 6/10 - The 7200.12 1TB drives have had problems, I'd recommend a WD1001FALS instead.
    RAM: 3/10 - OCZ Low voltage memory does not work, you need to adjust the voltage back to standard yourself, which is often problematic. Stick with a reliable brand like Corsair or G-Skill.
    Case: 5/10 - low spec and reasonably low quality, for a hot CPU and GPU a bigger and better case would be better, like an NZXT Tempest or Antec Three Hundred with extra fans fitted.
    PSU: 7/10 - not bad units, but nowhere near 700W. If you can find a Corsair TX 650W for not much more then do so.
    DVD: 6/10 - Why IDE in 2009? It's archaic.
    CPU Cooler: 5/10 - really noisy, really big, really heavy and really expensive. There are much better coolers for the money, such as the Noctua NH-U12P or Thermalright Ultra120.
