Thanks for the replies so far! I guess I should I have mentioned that I will be playing the game at 1920x1200, if that makes any difference. As far as storage, thanks for the recommendations! I have plenty of storage hard drives laying around that will be used in that capacity. I am currently on Windows 7 64-bit, but will be putting 8.1 on my new machine. I hope there are no issues with that, but I haven't read about any as of yet.
