Currently I am unable to load missions with more than 8 or so planes in it, due to the mission simply not loading, the game crashing and/or locking up.

Just curious if anyone has a system similar that has the game running without crashing, locking up, etc,..,.?

ASUS 3rd Gen Intel Core i7-3770
16GB of DDR3-1600MHz RAM
3TB hard drive, 128GB solid state drive
AMD HD 7770 discrete graphics
ASUS Smart cooling system

Thanks in advance.

the problem you are describing is not a pc hardware problem (unless you have a faulty fan on the gfx card, or your cpu is wrongly setup in bios and seriously underclocked etc), you most likely have some kind of software (or virus or malware) problem, or your CoD is setup is corrupted, has wrong preferences setting, or some of the patches were not installed correctly. you might also have something like a full HD with no cache file space left, or gfx driver problem. if your pc runs well for all other normal functions and games, why not do a complete fresh CoD reinstall first ?

the only possible hardware element in your system that is a bit less then ideal (but still doesn't explain or justify your problem) to have a high performance pc for CoD is your gfx card (which prob only has 1 gb of vram). you could simply upgrade the gfx card to a 2 or 3gb vram more current high end model from ati or nvidia (depending on your brand preference, performance of high end cards from both manufacturers will be very similar)

to change your whole pc over and buy a new one is way overkill for the performance issue you describe. if you dont have a more pc skilled person to help you identify the cause of your problem, people in various forums can try and talk you through it over a few days so you can sort it out. but if you have the money to burn and it doesnt bother you to do so, then you might not care, but its a bit of a waste

your new pc sounds great, but other then the better gfx card giving you a good performance bump (and is very worthwhile to do if you can afford a new 2 or 3 gb high end card), but the rest of the system elements will make less then 5% difference to what you have now imho
