I don't remember when I've last seen a game as nearly unanimously praised as this one. Given that I loved the bejeezus out of The Witcher, I'm seriously tempted to get back to cRPG's with this one, after a hiatus of more than a year and a half.
But my rig is hopelessly out of date. I've also not paid any attention whatsoever to developments in hardware. I have a vague idea that something called an i5 and an i7 has come out in the meantime, and an i7 is supposed to be better, and that all the kool kids run kuad-kores these days, but beyond that, zip.
And I really don't feel like doing the research.
So, suppose a grizzled old fogey wants to do one final upgrade to his gaming rig, with a budget fork around $500–1000/400-800€, for the CPU, mobo, RAM, and VGA (keeping the rest: box, PSU, OS, disks etc.). What would you recommend? I would want something that does justice to the game at High detail; it deserves that much at least.
