Will my new PC run NS2?

Valcien

<div class="IPBDescription">Advice Welcome</div>Hi everyone. I'm excited to play NS2. I haven't played NS in a few years, but it was in my top five favorite games of all time.

On the advice of a friend, I bought my last laptop thinking it would run TF2 with good performance, but the framerate was very bad.
This time i want to make sure; I want a gaming PC, and I want to run NS2 with at least FPS in the forties.

NS2 Recommended System Requirements:

<b>OS</b> Windows 7 32/64-bit / Vista 32/64 / XP
<b>PROCESSOR:</b> Core 2 Duo 3.0 ghz
<b>MEMORY</b> 2GB for XP / 4GB for Vista/7
<b>GRAPHICS</b> DirectX 9 compatible video card with 1GB, AMD 5770, NVidia GTX 450 or better

Alienware X51
<b>OS</b> Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64Bit, English
<b>PROCESSOR</b> 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i7-3770 (8M Cache, up to 3.4 GHz)
<b>MEMORY</b> 8GB (2 X 4GB) Dual Channel DDR3 at 1600MHz
<b>VIDEO CARD</b> 1.5GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 660
<b>HARD DRIVE</b> 1TB SATA 3Gb/s (7,200RPM) 32MB Cache
<b>AUTOMATIC UPDATES</b> 330W External Power Supply

Think that'll do it? I built my own computer once years ago, but I just don't know these things anymore. What kind of FPS can I expect? Thanks for your time. I'll strive to be a good Kharaa commander, since I've heard they're in short supply.

Medium / OK resolution, but nothing to high-end, disable most effects.

Also, that PSU is rather weak; if you ever wanna upgrade your GPU, I recommend 600w, more than you would still need, but best to be safe.

MY system in my sig only uses 575w and has alot more going on, and I have a 850w PSU, just for leeway.
