Tigerdirect.com's special of the week:

AMD 64 3400
512mb DDR Memory
200GB HDD
Unknown GPU
$449.99 - No monitor.

Could that run World in Conflict? Although we don't know GPU specs from that article, I'd say at best case, a rig like that would run WIC absolutely, positively bare minimum.

If anyone can find other relevant PC specs for $450-$700 systems from the X360's debut, I'd love to see it.
