My last graphics card just overheated and died due to my fans being clogged up because i smoke too much, so i bought a new one. Let me post some specs. I had this PC built 2 years ago, so apart from the new graphics card i just got you should be able to get everything quite cheaply.
Intel dual core 6600 at 2.4ghz
2gb of ram
ATI radeon HD 4800 (not got a HD monitor, getting one soon though)
Everything set to absolute max, game runs as smooth as a game can run and looks amazing. I thought it couldn't look any better than it did with my old card that just burned out, but i was so very wrong. Everything looks better. Planets, terrain, weather, stars, sky, comets, lazers, explosions, especially when you blow an enemy ship out of the sky, you can see sparks flying everywhere and little bits of the spaceship falling to the ground in a ball of fire, it's great.
If you can scrape the money together, get that card along with similar other components.
