You will be easily able to run Rome 2. But at your native resolution you might have to lower your settings a bit as on extreme settings the fps might drop below 50 or 40 in some locations. Otherwise you have nothing to worry about. It won't be that different from shogun 2 as they have the same 3D engine:

So we can have a good estimate from this.

No problem. In the figure you can see that 660 graphics card is doing pretty good so if you can spend some more money on it then i would advise you to purchase GTX 660Ti graphics card rather than 650 which you're buying right now, you won't regret it.

Why not buy a gtx 760?

He's not into gaming that much and we're not sure of his budget. 760 is about 70$ more than 660Ti if i'm not mistaken.

yes youre right the 760 is £79 more! there is 660 but no 660ti on the site i may consider the 660 then?

You're British?

From where you're buying it? I recently helped a friend from UK buy a PC, check out his thread.

And see the benchmark above it's definitely better then 650. So go for it if you can't find Ti, Ti version is better though and you should buy that if you can find it.
