Hello, I'm new to civ 5 as well as this forum. I don't know a whole lot about computers so I would like to ask if this computer will run civ 5. From what I understand, it should, but I'd like to get the opinions of people more knowledgable. I'm not worried about graphics, so I don't mind if it will work smoothly on Low-Medium. For reference, here are the requirements as posted by the civ5 website:
