I'm not sure how high the graphics requirements are for it, but I don't think they are too demanding. Can't find any benchmarks for it at all :P

If I'm right, then this build will do:

Total build cost: €422.64 + €30 shipping
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit (SB-Version) €74.51
Xigmatek Asgard, ATX, ohne Netzteil, schwarz €31.61
Super-Flower Amazon 80Plus 450W €41.01
Samsung SH-222AB bare schwarz SATA €16.68
8GB-Kit G.Skill PC3-10667U CL9 €32.63
Intel Core i3-2100 Box, LGA1155 €96.41
ASRock H61M-VS (B3), Sockel 1155, mATX €46.91
Samsung SpinPoint F3 500GB, SATA II (HD502HJ) €34.52
Sapphire HD5570 1G DDR3 PCI-E HDMI / DVI-I / VGA €48.36

If you're in dublin I'll be happy to build it for you for free. Otherwise its not too difficult to get it done yourself.

Lol, it's the only game I play on my new i7-2600k as well. Bit of overkill.

You could probably run every league in the game with that monster
