None of them will run it very well.

Save for at least a 4830 if not a 4850.

Just read the back of the game case to find min and req specs of the game
and go from there for your parts

And so is this.

It's not about "what can run it". A 8400GT can run it. It's about getting maximum performance for the price. A 8600GT is not maximum performance for the price.

he says he wants smooth gameplay. you can get an 8600 gt sub-100$ and it will have smooth gamplay at least on medium. theres no reason to spend more than 100 $ if he doesnt want to and it looks and play smoothly with the 8600 gt

The 8600GT is not and was never a good deal. As far as budget the 4670 beats it, as far as good price/performance the 4830 beats it.
