1TB black caviar HDD
benq xl2410t 120hz monitor
NZXT black phantom case
hopefully that would be enough to run BF3 on max settings and last me awhile on upcoming new games. | 
Pretty sure that setup will run on max

And no 64-player maps is a no-no for REAL BF experience, IMO.

but wait till bf3 is officially out, test it with your current setup
not happy? then you can upgrade
the longer you wait to re-upgrade your rig = cheaper things can be

I should've waited before the upgrade. I thought I'd be styling with the 560ti.
Now i'm tempted to sell it and just get a 580
To SLI or not..... argh.

And In order to do both of these I need to also get a new case and swap everything over.. AGAIN. Then on top of that, I haven't even gotten my second video card!

Because a single GPU doesn't have enough power and you need two of them

people have 1 video card already and want more power so they SLI
Most people doing a new system will get the best video card possible so they dont have to
or some people want the best performances and go apeshit on 2 of the best video cards, like a fellow rser  | |

Im still on a core2 duo oc'd to 3.2ghz with a 8800gt. I've been able to run all dx9 games on high.. deus ex, bf bc2, dead island, dragon age 2, dead space 2, crysis etc.. think ill be able to do the same with this game. 1600x1200 res.. I've always told myself ill only upgrade when I cant run better thrn med settings on most games.. but PC games haven't made my h graphical progress since crysis. And that game still looks the best.. I think for skyrim ill have problems Posted via RS Mobile | |

The reason we're PC fans is cuz console is not enough and we want the besssst.
