Thanks for the reply. I don't expect it to run great, just want to get 25fps or so in low settings. TBH, most games have been playable up until the most recent ones, which is probably telling me something...

Yeah, there has been a big jump in cpu requirements for games recently.

Personally I got the new iMac 27 and love it, games look great and it runs Starcraft 2 on the highest settings in 1440p and it's really playable - makes everyone jealous. I would say it's worth saving some money or taking a monthly payment plan.
