I'm fairly certain that it is.

That LC Police Skin Pack looks incredible! - I love the variety in vehicles; the texture work is beautiful as always.

I actually didn't notice before that the card you specified had 2GB dedicated video RAM; disregard what I said before - it will be fine. :D

With that setup you could completely blow most of the things that GTA IV throws at you [that graphics card could be improved, however], though I am not entirely sure that LCPDFR supports Windows 8 - Windows 7 is the superior OS when it comes to desktop PCs IMO.

Bravo!; now you're on your way to some fine gaming. :D

Hehe, no problem. :D - If the Ivy Bridge processors are out of your price range, don't hesitate to opt for the barely older Sandy Bridge counterparts. I have an i5 2500k in my rig and it does all I can throw at it and then some.

No problem; always happy to be of assistance. :D That processor is in the lower range of Intel processors; the Pentium series is a step above Intel's lowest bracket of Celeron. The minimum specs require a Core 2 Duo [which has been discontinued for quite some time], though I'm not entirely sure where that is in relation to your processor. If you can upgrade, I would - an Ivy Bridge Core i5 is the ideal. That graphics card is also in need of an upgrade; if you want to have any chance at running GTA IV with a decent FPS then I'd recommend something like the one I currently have; an EVGA 550Ti; only about $130 new and it gets the job done.

Nice work on this!; You went with an Ivy-Bridge processor; an i5 to boot. Good choice. The Radeon HD 7770 is quite the impressive card as well; should run GTA IV with quite a bit of room to spare. RAM and HDD are good as well; hopefully that is a 7200RPM hard drive if you're using it for a primary one though. My one concern is your power supply; 500w seems a bit low and the PSU is one of the most crucial components of a build - it is keeping the rest of your parts from being fried. I'd personally upgrade to at least 600w, or use the PSU calculator below to see what is recommended; http://support.asus.com/powersupply.aspx ------ Just for comparison, I have the setup listed below and can run GTA IV and LCPDFR [with supporting mods, such as ELS and an ENB] beautifully. Intel i5-2500k Nvidia GTX 550Ti 650w Cooler Master GX PSU 1TB Western Digital Caviar Black 7200RPM HDD Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600 DDR3 RAM

No problem :D. PCIe 3.0 cards will indeed gain a boost in performance when paired with a PCIe 3.0 capable motherboard, but a PCIe 3.0 card will still run well on a PCIe 2.0 or 2.1 motherboard.

This is beyond awesome! :3

Very nice; I don't think you'd get too bad of a bottleneck though the possibility is always there. I have an i5 2500k paired up with a 1gb 550Ti and it runs fine for me.

You've done an incredible job, Ceril - though I'm sure you know that already. The equipment is nicely done, and I can't wait for the ELS-H version. :D

Most video cards don't need PCIe 3.0 and will run perfectly fine on 2.1 or even 2.0. The 650Ti is backwards compatible as well if I am not mistaken. It appears as if that laptop has graphics integrated onto the motherboard rather than having a separate card; usually integrated graphics are good for just general browsing and not intensive gaming. My guess would be no, it would not play GTA IV.

The third one is your best bet; it is the Driver San Franciso model and has all the bells and whistles you could want. It looks perfectly fine when using ELS-H modes as well as standard ELS modes as well.

I'd have to disagree on this one; though a large amount are done there are still some holdouts. A DSF model CVPI with a HighRise lightbar for example.

My local Law-Enforcement department is the NYPD; I feel rather privileged. :D

Just snagged myself a Uniden-Bearcat BC346XT scanner for Christmas off of ScannerMaster; get to listen to my closest NYPD precinct now. :D

Ceril, that looks freaking amazing!
