Intel Core 2 Duo E8400

Nexus 8060Watt Powersupply

8060 Watt? Woah! your going to blow up your whole room with that thing lol

[maddogx 13]

Haha, I really hope he means 860w. :D

Btw, @Russianguy, how's your game stability been coming along since you upped the VCore on your CPU?

[jackass888 0]

Cpu temps can be measured with coretemp/realtemp nstuff.

HD4870/4890 is the only reasonable option for arma2 imo... others are too expensive for that little performance gain. Fps depends on resolution& but id say 30+fps on high-Vhigh. Arma2 is just currently a hardware eating sob :p

Its been somewhat better, but im still having some freezes and lock ups so i do not know, quite a few people also on the forums are experiencing the same problem, with different specifications aswell.., so i don't know maybe a new patch when it comes out can fix the issue. Until i get my retail copy i will see..

[Fleshpound 10]

Hehehe I ment Nexus 8060 model 600wat powersupply sorry.

Download the demo.

Oh and be careful with tha PSU if you upgrade to a Core i7, non-brand PSUs are a bad idea.

[ste4lth004 10]

Type everest in google, its nice little program thats shows you alot of info about your pc, when youve opened it, click on computer, sensor, to see all your temperatures for gpu,cpu,mobo,ram

I've a similar rig. With video settings Normal/High, AA normal, filrate 100%, PostProcess and Anisotropic disabled, 1280x1024:

- 40/60 fps in Sp missions

- 20 /50 in Campaign (as far as I've played)

Nexus are not so bad PSU. But I agree they cannot be compared with Corsair or Coolermaster for example.

Oh right, never heard of them. Must add them to my mental list of decent PSUs... :p

I would get the i7 920 m8, you cant go wrong with that cpu and it kicks arma2 arse :).

Get a Gigabyte motherboard, something like the EX58-UD5.

[ste4lth004 10]

This is my mobo http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Asus-P6T-SE-Intel-X58-Sok-1366-PCI-E-20-(x16)-DDR3-2000-1866-1800-SATA-3Gb-s-SATA-RAID-ATX

its been great so far i overclocked my 920 to 3.5 on stock air.

Man, the price of i7 boards has come down a load recently... Most be feeling the heat of the Phenom IIs :p

[ubascouser 0]

Guys i purchased it should be hear in the morning hopefully ill see a big improvement from my current specs.It come to just over 420 pound.

[The 10]

Could I run it with this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AMD-ATHLON-x2-6000-3Ghz-True-D-Core_W0QQitemZ290299216040QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_DesktopPCs?hash=item43972e80a8&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12|66%3A2|39%3A1|72%3A1690|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50

I'd only get a new PC for this game and I need the cheapest one possible.

[echo1 0]

Nope, graphics too weak. A complete rip off too btw

[SpecOp9 0]

For those of you wondering... "which card should I get?"

I found a really great website which has tested a few games with many, many, MANY different graphics cards.

http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/gaming-graphics-charts-2009/benchmarks,54.html

It gives you all the benchmarks, with FPS performance, a list of the settings it was performed under, etc.

That being said, the cheapest graphics card with incredible performance would be a ATI Radeon HD 4870 priced at only $139. A very good graphics card with a very surprising price.

That's what I was afraid of.

If I went for this:

http://www.arbico.co.uk/Arbico-QC-8200-GT-Custom-Built-Power-PC-p-18312.html

What is the cheapest CPU and graphics card I could get away with whilst still playing on medium to high settings?

[echo1 0]

Upgrading to a HD4850 would be more than enough to keep it running smooth at good settings. If you really really had to cut corners, you'd survive on a 9600GT 512MB, but it would be worth spending a bit more to get better performance.

[The 10]

If that's all that would need upgrading, I may be able to stretch to that. I'm 18 in a month so early birthday quids, a loan from my grandparents and I get paid soon. I think I may just be able to stretch it.
