Who is going to upgrade pc for IL-2 CoD?

[WhiteSnake]

I wait with upgrading, i first have a go at it with my old system and see how that goes.

Waiting for AMD Bulldozer to see what thats gonna bring, also the timing for CoD comming out is really bad for me...

I also want Test Drive Unlimited 2, Need For Speed Shift 2 Unleashed and Crysis 2 wich all come out at about the same time as CoD, so choices have to be made

Don't wait for IvyBridge is for late 2011 early 2012, rumours are saying.

Don't the sandy bitches only support 1333 RAM?
How can you use 1600 then?

According to the ASUS 1600 RAM is supported, the problems some people are reoporting now will surely be sorted out in month or two when CoD is released.

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

I'm gonna wait till I have the game. If i can't use med to high settings with my 2 year old cpu and graphics card i might upgrade..

I can play black shark and a-10 perfectly. Maybe a setting or two on med instead of high.

I only upgrade when and if I have an awsome game and I can't run it fluently. First i'll try and OC the cpu and graphics card. Only THEN i will upgrade. I mean... upgrading to overkill is a waste of money in my book.

I cast long eyes at the sandybridges to replace my aging E8400...

The "problem" is that almost all games run fine at max setting with that E8400 clocked at 3.6Ghz and a GTX 275 that is really old but does it's job in most games...

Previously I always bought the fastest stuff available when upgrading but as it is now with hardware moving faster than the software requirements (the GTX 275 was my first mid range card) I realize that the upgrade I'm thinking of is a Sandy Bridge 2600 with a P67 Mb and either a HD6950 or a GTX 560 Ti... Then after a year or two a faster GPU to let it live a bit longer.

Then maybe I think of getting the HD6950 or GTX 560 Ti for my current rig. Really depends on how CoD will be limited... If I don't have a CPU bottle neck due to it using both cores well and doing fine without the need for more cores and the GPU is the limiting factor... It would spice the current rig for a year of extended front line service I guess

To the people that may post here with "why do you bother then" etc, let us guys that like discussing this do it here? It has something to do with the game at least as we are gearing up for war

EDIT: Well, the conclusion like many others is that I will wait before changing anything - even if I have "the itch" now
