Will it work on my PC?

Hi. I tried to search for a thread like this but couldn't find one. I'm too lazy to look up the required specs myself and have no idea if my PC is good enough for BG:EE, so I will list the stuff inside my computer and ask if it can run the game or not.

My PC's box / tower thing contains:

I7 980 hex core
12 Gb ram
Asus rampage III extreme
Geforce GTX 670
A couple of 2 Tb HDDs and a 128 + 512 Gb SSD
A DVD RW drive
Power suply
Lots and lots of glowy fans.

So will that work or do I need to upgrade stuff like getting water cooling to push my CPU past 4.5 Ghz, another GTX 670 or two for SLI, getting 24 Gb ram, another 512 Gb SSD for raid ...

I herd that my PC is obsolete because there's something new called Ivybridge out, and I already threw away all my money pimping out a slow crappy X58 system :(

Will it work?

    My CPU is stable at 4.5 Ghz with 1.4v, but it goes over 90 degrees on a couple of cores and I already have the best air cooler money could buy, some humongous read thing made by Phanteks. The problem is I have an old case that can't fit a radiator, so if I want to run 4.5 Ghz I need a new case and water cooling, otherwise it sits at 4.4 Ghz with 1.36v.

    Hopefully BGEE won't lag with a 4.4 Ghz hex core, or I will need to either get watercooling or Ivybridge :(

    @Mungri I fear the game won't run on your PC due to the lots and lots of glowy fans. You might want to replace them with Torches Deluxe - Cave Troll Edition. I'm quite confident that it'll run without a problem then!

    Did you perhaps totally lose it wasn't a serious question, but an ironic representation of 'can I run it' threads that are serious, from people who shouldn't worry at all?
