You appear to be new to Steam so I'll be pleasant. On the store page for this game you can scroll down and there is a section that shows the minimum and recommended specs for this game and all games on Steam.
Also you can do a bit of research with your search engine so you don't have to make posts like this one and waste peoples time with links to your future uber machine.
But for now I will paste it here.

MINIMUM:
OS: Windows 7 (32bit)
Processor: 3.16Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo E8500
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: 1GB (AMD Radeon HD 5550 or Nvidia GeForce GT 430)
DirectX: Version 11
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Hard Drive: 35 GB available space


RECOMMENDED:
OS: Windows 7 (64bit)
Processor: AMD: Phenom II X4 955 - 4 Core, 3.2 GHz or Intel: Core 2 Quad Q9650 - 4 Core, 3.0 GHz
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: 2GB (AMD GPU: AMD Radeon R9 200 Series or Nvidia GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX660)
DirectX: Version 11
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Hard Drive: 35 GB available space

I run the game with an AMD Athlon II X4 651 Quadcore, 4 gig ram (dual channel) and a quite old nvidia GTX 460 (1 gig vram). it does *not* run everything on max settings, mostly due to the processor being rather weak, but it tuns the game on high settings without a problem.. as it should.

I've seen far better lighting effects in games, so the one you show is going to run this easily..

Yes, that machine will run it. It's very light on requirements and strikes a good balance between looking good and performing well.

System Req's for this game are nice. But I think the GPU makes the most part. I am running with a Core 2 Quad Q9550 @ 3.0GhZ (OC from 2.8 to 3.0) with 4 Gigs RAM (dual cannel), SSD, and a GTX780.
Everything runs at max (incl. AA) on 1650x1080. It's great having an more than 5 years old PC only with a new graphics card and getting max settings.

why on earth would you put a 780 in that system? overall in games at 1680x1050, you are lucky to get 70% of what that card is capable of. you could have bought a 770 and gotten the exact same playable performance as even that would be held back.

Seriously, $1259 for that? Buy all the parts seperately and you could upgrade to a 4TB HDD, a 240GB SSD, and an i7 CPU for the same money and get Windows 7 instead of Windows 8. Those companies that sell pre-built 'gaming machines' are scammers.

Sure... but you should build your own rig! You will have the same performance for 200 or 300 Dollars less. Isolation has no great requirements on hardware. - Regards

The most important thing is the cpu.

- Intel Core i7-4790K
- Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD5H
- Cryorig R1 Ultimate
- EVGA GeForce GTX 770 (with EVGA ACX Cooler)
- Corsair Vengeance Pro Series — 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 DRAM 1866MHz C9 Memory Kit
- Corsair HX Series HX650 Power Supply — 650 Watt 80 PLUS Gold Certified Modular PSU
- Corsair Graphite Series 600T Mid-Tower

There you go!

I built my own, not really complicated just watch youtube and have a Static wrist strap. I like http://www.tomshardware.com/ and http://www.overclockers.com/forums/ for good references. Cyberpowerpc.com for builds.... but Corsair has better Powersupplies.

ZombieCowzz, to be honest, every idiot can do this! It is really easy... the only thing you have to concentrate is to put the thermalpaste on the cpu and to use an earth-strap. Take a look on "Toms Hardware Guide" - make a profil, post your possible setup - the will help you! There are tons of how-to vids too...

Don't waste your money on a pre-built!

YOU GROWTH WITH YOUR ASSIGMENTS

Wow, that's pretty expensive considering the content of that PC. It will run the game But I definatly don't recommend that.

ZombieCowzz, there are hundreds of videos on YouTube about assembling and pickiing parts. Watch 2 or 3 of them and it becomes like lego... just easiert.
