I'm still planning on ordering the 360 version (technically already ordered) and I just built a new desktop with a $200 graphics card in August. For one the experience isn't guaranteed as smooth as the console version since it has to be optimized for variety of setups. You'll probably need truely top of the line (i.e. closer to $300 card) to get this game running as smoothly and looking as good as it does on the 360.

EDIT: ... actually... if 2k puts out a demo... i might wait these two weeks out just to see lol. But I have to disagree at the $40 being enough to update your PC to play the game, if it was a PS2 port sure, but 360 port? Most recent games from 360 (i'm thinking Assassin's Creed, Mercenaries 2) play well enough on my PC but spurt out when you approach max settings and high resolutions, nevermind any kind of Anti-Aliasing.
I bet a 8800GT will run this game just find and i think they are in the mid 100's. I bought a ATI 3850HD 512 a few months ago. It can pretty much play anything right now. I also have a C2D8600 3.0 Ghz wolfdale and 4 gigs of ram.

I dont have to worry about running many games on the higher settings for a while.

I spent a total of about 700 bucks for the set up. I used my previous hard drive and case as i build my own computers.

You do not need a 300 dollar and up video card.
