the system you have will play sto just fine I would go alittle more on the video card memory and make sure it has perks like 128 bit memory interface, uvd support, pci express 2 plug-in on your mother board and graphics card, ddr3 or greater, Stream Processors 320, Core Clock 750 MHz or greater, Memory Clock 1600 MHz or greater, and Interface Speed x16.

Great motherboard, I personally would go with a duel core for the higher clock rate but if your set on a quad then that CPU will do just fine. As for the GPU the 250 would probably work better for you, getting the 1 gig version would be best and from what I've seen the price difference from the 512 to the 1 gig in negligible. Also there's the HD 4850 for around the same price (if not alittle cheaper), and preforms just as well as the GTS 250. Happy picking!
