I have been hanging off upgrading for CoD and RoF. The computer will only be used for these 2 sims, so huge storage is not an issue. I am now near the final solution as follows:

Intel Core i7 2600 3.4GH s1155
QuadCore/Turbo3.8GHz/LGA1155 OR

the i7 2500 as I believe the 2600 does not give gamers any extra benefit over the 2500

Asus P8P67-M pro P67 B3 Rev i7 i5 i3 LGA 1155 DDR3USB Motherboard OR

Gigabyte GA-H67A-UD3H MB Socket 1155, Intel H67 Chipset, 4x DDR3
SATA3, SATA2, USB3.0, Firewire, HD Audio,Crossfire,ATX

3 x Corsair (or similar quality) 4GB DDR3 1600MHz Unbuffered CL 9 DIMM
Vengeance Performance

Either WD VelociRaptor 300GB 10K SATA, OR

A-RAM SSD Alpha 128GB 2.5" MLC SSD, up to170/100MB/s, SATA II 3.0 Gb/s + USB2, ECC

Sumsung DVD player/Burner sata

Antec DF-30 Case

800W "Gigabyte" ODIN GT Power Supply, 140mm Fan, PCI-E(6+2) Pin, 6x SATA, SOFTWARE FANS CONTROL, SLI-Ready

Win7 Pro 64 bit

Palit GF GTX 560Ti PCI-E 2.0 2048MB DDR5 256-bit (MUST BE 2048MB) 822/4008MHz, 2x Dual-Link DVI,VGA, HDMI, Fan OR

the 570
