I have to run the game @ 1920x1200 with Medium settings otherwise I drop under 20 fps in some circumstances ...

I recommend exceeding the following specs ...

CPU - Intel Xeon X3110 (aka E8400) @ 3.87 GHz
HSF - Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro w/ Noctua NT-H1 Thermal Compound
RAM - 8 GB OCZ Platinum PC2-6400 @ 860 MHz 5-4-5-15
HDDs - 500 GB Seagate 7200.11 + 320 GB Seagate 7200.10
GPU - Visiontek Radeon HD 4870 512 MB (790 MHz Core/4400 MHz Memory)
PSU - ABS Tagan BZ-900 900 Watt
Case - Gigabyte Poseidon
OS - Windows Vista Business 64-bit

My friend who has a Phenom X4 9950 @ 3.1 GHz, 8 GB PC2-6400, and a Radeon HD 4850 512 MB seems to have better results, so a triple- or quad-core system would probably be a better choice.

As mentioned, the game is terribly coded for the PC, so it's an unnecessary bitch to high-end computers. I somewhat doubt you're going to be able to do a good computer w/ SLI GTX 260s and a 1000W PSU for $1000 without compromising quality.
