Stylin in my opinion you could think about upgrading to a newer motherboard (ex. socket 1155). Check the local stores like ME or NCIX, some times they carry board+cpu bundles for very good prices. Check your current ram and decide maybe if it's worth it to get an additional 4gb. The Kingston HyperX 4gb I got in the winter only cost around $80, so it's not too expensive. But do make sure the parts fit perfectly together though. As for the video card I do believe the 4870 may be a little on the low-end side for running this game. Better frame rates = better gameplay right? :P

Maybe look to invest in a GTX 570 if the 580 is too expensive. Or if possible SLI 2 GTX 460s :P
