You will piss away probably 4 grand on that setup, within 3 months it will worth close to half that...
The build RevTKS69 posted... It's not 8 cores, it's 4 cores that emulates 8 cores. GTA IV on the PC can't be maxed out with any GPU I believe, maybe it can with a dual/quad GPU setup but not single. GTA IV also runs like crap on a lot of dual core CPU systems. Quad-cores are worth it, more and more games will start to use all four cores. The only thing is the 12 gigs of ram, that is kind of overkill, one kit (6gb) would be enough and you can always put more in later. That system is only about $2400, it doesn't have a apple logo on it so ya won't have to overpay for it. ;)
