Well i found a great deal and i bought this computer amd 64 x2 4200 evga 8800gts 320mb 2 gigs of ram 500 watt powersupply (good one don't remember the brand name) i heard somewhere that the 8800's were getting bad framerates in armed assault for some reason. will this happen with my system?

mother board: (Socket AM2)MSI K9N Neo-F nForce 550 Chipset processor: amd 64 x2 4200+ power supply: 450 watt ram: 2 gigs of ddr2 800 dual channel so i already have that figured out i don't need any advice on that all i need to know is How will the 7900gs run arma with that set up at a resolution of 1024x768? How bout an 8600gt at the same resolution? I don't have the money for an 8800gts, and i find them completely unnecessary for my usage. I only need a resolution of 1024x768 because i have a small monitor.

yeah i've heard so many mixed reviews of the 8600 but it seems to be rather poor. So i think i am going to go with the 7900gs xfx will that with my previous mentioned system run arma at max settings on 1024x768? I only need like 30-40 fps. ---edit--- (im building)

Alright so i have yet to play arma because my computer is so crappy. I am thinking about getting a new computer and im wondering how you guys think it will run games out lately. Processor: amd 64 x2 4200 Ram: 2 gigs Graphics card: 8600gt (xtx 620mhz core clock version) I have a relatively small monitor so i don't need a resolution over 1024x768 but how does that sound? only thing im having trouble deciding is the graphics card. Keep in mind i am 15 and i am on a tight budget. Someone give me an estimate of how that will run arma.
