Yes, I've looked at the official minimum and recommended system requirements, but what I am curious about are what other users have found to be their recommended system specs to play the game (especially in CoV Grandville, which is unplayable on my system), being as I'm looking at possibly having a friend build me a system.

Thanks.

Everyone's personal recommended system specs will differ greatly. Some people can handle playing with 20-30FPS, others, such as myself, won't settle for anything less than 60FPS.

For CoH I'd definately shoot for a dual core cpu if possible, and a decent graphics card. If price is an issue, then I'd shoot for these:

Video card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130535

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116091

Motherboard, PSU, and RAM is up to personal preference. I wouldn't go less than 2GB of RAM. The video card does recommend at minimum a 400w PSU that has 26 amps on the 12v. The motherboard will also have to be LGA775 socket for that CPU. Obviously if price isn't an issue, than you can go for something a lot better, but with that setup you will see a huge increase in performane over what you have right now.
