Need help with new gaming PC

Recommended Posts

Hi I am not very good when it comes to building PC's but I would like to purchase and play this game any a high or very high setting. I am not interested in 3d or recording, but I would like to hold a solid 60+ frames a second even during large explosions. The PC won't be used for any thing but Arma 2 and expansion packs. I have a budget of $2200 excluding monitor, keyboard, and mouse. I would like to have a view distance on everything out to 5500 meters if possible.

One thing I have been reading is that an SSD hard drive is better than a standard RAID one.

I know this probably has been posted before but with the amount hardware changes most threads will be out of date.

Sorry I posted in the wrong thread didn't see any other one and I am talking about Canadian Dollars. Its the same as the USD just that its not ready to collapse at any moment.

Also could the Moderators please move to the appropriate section.

- win7 64bit

- i7 875k OC to 4 Ghz

- some Gigabyte or Asus motherboard

- 12 GB Ram DDR3 (so you can use 10 GB for a ramdisk)

- HDD some 7200 rpm 1 GB will do

- SSD 32 GB for installing ArmA2 & addons

- GTX580 (or GTX460 if price is too high)

FPDR

Because there's a sticky thread at the top of the forum for questions like "what should I get to run Arma2". Pretty much every other thread like this I've ever seen gets locked.

I think I actually have a 1gb drive somewhere, it's very old though.

Because there is a sticky thread on top of this forum, it's almost impossible to miss.

We don't need a new thread for each one setting up a new PC.
