    Can i configure this like with the multiplayer parameters if i'm playing singleplayer? The reason i don't just play a singleplayer multiplayer game is that i want one life and no repsawns, but if i can turn that off(player respawning) in multiplayer i'll do that?

    And can i change the roles/skins? For example i would rather have an entire team of team leaders leading squads rather than medics and engineers

    How well would the following PC run Arma 2?

    Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z68P-DS3

    CPU: Intel I5 2500k

    GPU: HD 6850 1GB

    RAM: 2X4 8GB 1600MHz

    This is an updated build from a few pages back to fit my budget. I will be reusing the other components not mentioned. It all comes to around £380

    I'm still deciding on my PC spec, do you think it would be worth cutting down to a H61 and an i5 2400 if it meant I could get a GTX 560ti or even a 2gb HD 6950?

    I think we should continue in this thread but i leave that to mods - http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=87256



    anyways, maybe not everyone will agree but i personaly think that getting 1333Mhz RAM is bad decission.

    You can get 1600Mhz CL9 T1 sticks for under 50Eur today and afaik even Ivy bridge is about to natively support up to 1866Mhz,

    so future upgrade will be easier to deal with, plus you get lower timings, cooler sticks and more room for OC, since those will most likely run at 1.35V.

    I mean if you having 2500K, which begs for OC'ing, why get 1333Mhz ram?

    1Gb GFX Vram...You will better be off with 2Gb, safest bet for 2012 games inmy book

    You didn't mention HDD though but make sure it won't become your most noticeable bottleneck

    Well this would be my first build, I'm not too tech savvy I threw this together after a few days research. I was going to reuse my current HDD (until the prices went down) which I believe is this, would that cause problems?

    It would run Arma 2 happily on high, and very high should also be playable, depending on your monitor's resolution. Whilst the CPU is great (as is the Corsair memory), the graphics card is the weak link in the system. Something more powerful like a HD6950 1GB or a GTX 560TI 1GB would offer more FPS and ensure very high runs (more) smoothly.

    Thank you. The resolution I use is 1152x864(interface resolution on Arma) and the Arma 2 "3d resolution" is 768x576. My PC runs it on very low, so i don't know how useful the 3d resolution is(does it change with settings)?

    Will this resolution(I think my monitor is 22 inches) make it easier to run?
