Or in more detail, this is my PC:

Also, the monitor I'm using is 1900x1080 and like 20-22 inch, can't remember exactly right now...

Obviously I can't meet the DirectX 11 Video recommendation, but I'd like to meet all of the other recommendations.

Is my graphics card (or anything else) not good enough? I think the GT 220 isn't as good as the 8800 GTS is it? The GT 220 has 1gb graphics memory doesn't it, so I'd thought that'd be better than the 8800 GTS which is 512 MB, no? I don't really know much about how they compare, other than I saw that the GT 220 was lower on a hierarchy. I'd prefer not to upgrade if possible. I also have like over a GB of onboard graphics memory.

What graphics card would you recommend to upgrade to, if necessary? Wouldn't like to spend that much since I've only had the PC like just over a year, but I guess I could sell the GT 220 for like £40+?
 
Nope, but thanks for the help. I'll try out the demo in 3 days anyway to see how smoothly the game runs.
