Run Dxdiag then click save all information...

It will make a txt file. All you have to do afterward is to sort the info given there.

Me too.

Before I could run it smoothly on an 8600Gts and 3.2(or 2.2, I forget) dual core, and better on SLI 8600gts, and now even better on a 3ghz i5 and 285gtx.



So if you want to go the cheapest possible:

Dual core of some kind ~3Ghz(~$100-300)
8600/8800 but I would truthfully go with a HD4870/250GTS (~$150-170) or quite a bit better 260gtx(~200$)
4GB ram (~$100)



Right now I'm trying to figure out why you have to run dxdiag. Shouldn't you know what's in your computer?
