Not, y'know, dwarfputing. I'm not clever enough for that. I mean what real-life machine can run Dwarf Fortress at the most FPS? I am thinking an i5-3570k is probably it, but I'm not sure how fast that will go. I want to do a 16x16 embark and each dwarf will have their own personal fortress. I intend for there to be a volcano in the middle of the map and that is where I want to put the trade depot, so there will be lots of fluids going around.

Nah Dwarf Fortress can only use one core.

Why the i5 instead of the i7?  Isn't 7 > 5?

Solid state drive.

Processor would require a bit of research for me to confidently say which is best. You don't want raw speed, but you do want a large and fast cache. I'm not sure what kind of CPU benchmarks to compare DF on.
