Currently I plan to buy something like this:

Intel I7 2600, Asus P8P67 , 8 GB Corsiar DDR3 1600, GTX 560 Ti or AMD 6950 with 2 GB Ram. 64 GB SSD for OS, 1 TB HD, Asus Sonar DX soundcard

What is confusing me is that I read that the CPU only supports 1333 RAM.

We have a crapload of different systems here on the board.
They will play CoD from day one.
Hopefully, they will share their results here and flood the forum.

I'm not going to buy anything until I have seen some of the results and therefore know what adds and what not.

(Cool thing is, the biggest computer discounter of the country has store just down the road )

I care for what upgrades any of you are planning to buy just as much as I care what you all had for breakfast and the type of cutlery you use to eat it.

I like to share my findings and recommendations with people here because it's the very nature of this forum, right?
Bragging rights isn't worst than point fingers at people faces.
That is really arrogant not a list of computer parts, mate.

Someone answered for me.There's nothing childish about it so get over it.If you dont like it then close your eyes or something.If I had my previous pc right now I would have posted in my sig too.Again you need to enjoy what you have, it seems you do not and you seem to get upset because some other guy you dont even know has a "better" pc.I would cry every time I get to OCN and see all the monstrous rigs(and I spend most of my time there)if I thought like you.

Haha no, that is not it at all. It just doesn't interest me in the slightest, obviously from other peoples posts here there are people that are interested. My previous posts were fueled with some drink, so I will apologise for some trollish posts lol. I still feel the same though, so I will attempt to avoid these PC system threads and if I acidently open one I will just have to close my eyes Oh and to make us equal I will put something you will find very boring in my sig

Fair enough.

Anyone building a new rig at the moment would be totally insane to buy anything other than a Core i7 2600K .

It blows away all the old school i7 CPU's, is multiplier unlocked (overclocking to about 4.8 Ghz aircooled), and is as cheap as, especially considering its pretty much the fastest kid on the block even without overclocking all at a mid range price.

Reviews I have read say that the i5-2500K is the one to get for gaming - the i7-2600k produces very minor benefit in games to justify the extra cost. (it may be justified though if you use heavily multi-threaded apps or do a lot of video editing, etc.)

I'll be getting the i5-2500K too.

I thought of the same thing, but then hearing some rumours that X-Plane 10 gets some benefits from hyper threading aside the benefits of multiple cores I decided to go for it as the price difference didn't really rock the boat too much compared to the other stuff. Kind of a 'just in case' selection =)
