GOG's Arma comes with Queen's Gambit, the only expansion pack released for that game I'm not sure you can get Arma anywhere without QG now. That said, it still requires an absolute beast of a machine, and even my 4.5 GHz OC'd Core i7 2700k + GTX 580, which doesn't even break a sweat running Witcher 2, gets about 30 fps in 'Manhattan' with 4000m visibility and all the graphics options on very high - and not much better with them on low.
