@havefeith I'm sorry the game isn't working, but it's possible that this is down to the lack of newer driver support. The "can I run it?" sites almost never update their info after a game's release, and even then, they go by official requirements, which don't usually include a list of supported drivers.
Do you want a desktop or laptop? I should be able to find a few good options within your budget, either now or in a week when the Black Friday sales start multiplying.
Desktop would be better, since I'm running into this problem because it's a laptop I'm using. No worries on sales; I won't have enough for it just yet. Still have to repay my grandmother $200. Give me about 6 months after that, and I'd have enough. Gonna be a pain transfering files, though, since I have no way of peer to peering any computers on my wifi. I've got an external hard drive though, which is the next best thing.

@havefeith Whenever you're ready to buy, feel free to come back and ask for help. For reference, this computer ($1,200 CAD) is powerful enough by an unnecessarily large margin for ultra settings:
Most of the time, I can find a suitable option that can handle ultra settings for $100-200 less, but much of the stock in that range is sold out right now, and there's not much point in looking if you're not ready to buy yet. I doubt anything available now will still be around in six months. There should still be similarly good systems though.

Would you mind if I PMed you when I'm ready to buy a new PC? Oh, and with Canadian prices, you should probably assume there's at least a 10% tax on items. It varies depending on which province/territory you live in, but 10% is the bare minimum thanks to the federal government taking a cut. Here in Ontario, the tax on each dollar is 13%. I think in Alberta it's around 15%, but don't quote me on that. The only reason I'm mentioning it is because that one you link came out to an estimated $1,388. I mean, if I had a credit card, I might've gone for it, but I only have debit because of issues with overdraft. I have good enough credit for a credit card, but I'd rather not go further into debt. I still have to pay off my first smartphone, after all. Anyways, thanks for the help. If I get your permission to PM you, I'll send one off right away so I have it available for 7 months from now. (I take $200 every month, and set it aside. Right now, it's being used to pay back my grandmother.)

@havefeith Sure, you can PM me when you're ready. I'll be around. And I'll keep those tax rates in mind too.
