Go to the third deal of the day, this combo, should upgrade almost every system part people find lacking. If you disagree speak up, just be constructive. If you have any other good deals you know about post them as well.

I dont see a $99 deal in the link. The 120gb vertex3 SSD for $70 is sweet though, too bad I just got a 180 gb vertex 2.

Upcoming Deal Starts At 01:00PM (PDT)

AMD A4-3400 Llano 2.7GHz Socket FM1 65W Dual-Core Desktop APU (CPU + GPU) with DirectX 11 Graphic AMD Radeon HD 6410D

hmm its not so much an upgrade as building a new system. But yes as a base for a new build it yourself system that would do sufficiently I think. Plus those CPU+GPU things by themselves won't be that good at running it, you'll still need a discrete GPU card.

Because I don't know your current specs:
SSD, althought will increase load times, will not increase thr frames per second during the game. I suggest one of the following:
1) you have a fast enought VGA card, go for a motherboard,memory,CPU upgrade.
2) your cpu, M/B and memory are fast enough, then go for VGA upgrade.

Do ask if your old hardware works with the new, before buying. without needing a new powersupply...

Above suggestions will increase your frames per second during the game, while a SSD will not.

I enjoy my ssd. Load time vanished and games such as SupCom and Sins drastically improved late game.

On newegg right now you can get a Athlon II X3 450 + ASRock 970 Extreme3 Mobo + 8GB of DDR3 mem for a hair under $200. That would put you able to run this with no issue aside from a graphics solution. A Radeon 5770 comparable GPU can be had off newegg for cheap. Like the HIS Radeon 6790 listed right now for $130.
