Hi another seeking enlightenment !

[The Ancient One]

Yet another "Forum Newbee" (where do we all come from?). Not knowing roo much about what goes into "The Box", I am looking for a PC that will play Civilization V without having to try and alter Resolutions, change Graphic Cards etc. Any ideas??

Well you could start with a Phenom II x4 965, Radeon HD6870 and 4GB of RAM as a base and build around that but it really depends on your budget.
