So does this look good for a new PC?

As I said before, I completed GTA IV's storyline some months ago. I admit that with patches lower than 1.0.4.0 it had a shit performance (for example, sometimes when you tried to switch between low and high lights in the cars the game froze for about 5 seconds or even more), but after I installed cracked 1.0.4.0 patch, the performance was flawless. I couldn't set everything max though because the settings are limited depending on how much VRAM your videocard has (512MB in my case), but I set it as high as my videocard could afford and it worked perfectly.

That was my experience though, Intel processor and mobo, ATI videocard. Now, if you are too afraid of getting shit performance, just go for the nVIDIA card
