Im getting a new CPU/Ram/Graphics card soon, how will it run PR? And on what settings?

Nvidia 8800GT 512MB, AMD Phenom 9500 Quad Core 95watts AM2+ 4MB Cache 2200MHz, 4GB Corsair ram

Thanks

Please tell me you're joking? That spec will play PR whacked up to 1600x1200 on full settings and 8xAA/AF without any problems at all.

It won't be running as good as it would if you were running Intel CPU.
Hate to say it, but the 9500 just can't compete, even if you are trying to save money.
Even the new B3 stepping released today is still week.

Look at the game scores, just can't hold up.
And I am actually rooting for AMD to make a comeback, so don't think I am some Intel fanboy.

M8 isnt it capped at 100 fps anyway? Way past what the human eye can notice.
