You might want to wait a few years before getting deep into Civ 5... lotsa issues left for Firaxis to work out. You'll have a new computer by the time it is fully baked.
I missed Civ 3 completely (after being a drooling Civ 2 and SMAC fan)-- and did not get into Civ 4 until it was four years old. What an excellent experience. BTS might be my favorite game of all time, but it took the devs a few years to get there.
I expect the same with Civ 5, and I'm okay with that. A game of such scale needs time to mature.
