That is a long way to go for a game, if it is the only game you have problems with
However, try borrowing another harddrive if you have the chance, before you buy.
Pretty much the same goes for the other components. If you have the chance, borrow and shift around, eleminating the issues.
Trying another graphics card could also be a way to go, because it could be the drivers or even the memory of the graphics card which causes the issue (in connection to your mentioning of lag before the crash)
Also - is there a difference if you run with few (almost none) settings turned on and lower resolution/refresh rate in-game, compared to more settings turned on?
