bloody jumper:

I took your guys' recommendation about the upgrade to my graphics card, and I couldn't be happier with the result!

But now, I have one more blockade until I can run most of anything, the CPU. As always, I suck with computers so I'm hoping you can help me out! The price range for this should be maybe $150-200.

I saw somewhere the game prefers a quad processor and if I recall correctly my computer has a six core. I can run the game on low detail maps with ease but only on the lowest quality. If I run a detailed map with lowest, it still lags. If I load up more than one vehicle, it lags. Can this be explained, how this makes sense?

Because more cores =/= better performance. Considering you have 6 cores and its still running like stuff, you have an OLD amd cpu. Also, iirc when they mention "prefers quad core" i think its going by intel quad cores, which are noticeably "better" than amd quad cores. it has something to do with quantity over quality with AMD vs Intel cpus.

Also, what is the difference between these two i5s, as the 'statistically' better one is cheaper...

Core i5-4460 (One I'm looking to get)

Core i5-4590 (One I found a minute ago)

However the second one looks rather sketchy...

The second CPU is a 'tray' model which doesn't come with a cooler. There is a 'boxed' version that does and I suggest that you get it instead since it's slightly faster and practically the same price: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00K5J22GG/ref=s9_simh_hm_bT0akp_d0_g147_i6
