Is this a laptop ? ?
If so upgrades are so expensive as to not be considered...

Either of these two cards are recommended for the game.

NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT
ATI Radeon 4850 with Shader Model 3 and 512 MB VRAM or faster

And yes, I would definately install an additional fan, it will really help protect your PC from the heat.

Sorry about that :)

I'm referring to a case circulation fan, if you have the space for it.  I had assumed that was what you meant.
