  1. Hey all, interjecting with my own question. I'm building my own computer for the first time, and I'm pretty ignorant all around when it comes to hardware and what to look for. I've done a bit of research, but all too often I'm getting conflicting information on what to look for, or what not to look for. I want to get started on building this computer sooner rather than later, and my benchmark is to be able to run ARMA 3 on high settings, at about 60-100 FPS, with a 1920 x 1080 resolution. Since the game isn't out, I know no one will be able to offer definitive answers, but any recommendations as to how I can improve efficiency and whether or not you think it will likely be able to pull this off is what I'm looking for. I got this build from HERE. It's in my price range($1,000, give or take $200), and it is based around the i5 2500k, which seems to be the best all around CPU when it comes to performance and price. Motherboard: EVGA P67 Micro SLI, LGA 1155, Intel P67 chipset CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K, 3.3 GHz (3.7 GHz Turbo), Quad-Core, 6 MB L3 Cache Memory: Mushkin Enhanced Redline 4 GB (2 x 2 GB) 240-Pin DDR3-1600 Kit, Dual-Channel Desktop Memory Kit Graphics: 2 x EVGA GeForce GTX 460 1 GB, 1 GB in SLI Hard Drive: OCZ Vertex Series 30 GB SATA II SSD, 30 GB, SATA 3Gb/s and Western Digital Caviar Black 750 GB, 7200 RPM, 32 MB Cache SATA 3Gb/s Not going to bother listing the cooling, case, power, or optical unless it really matters. I'm probably going to go with 8 GB of memory since it's so cheap, but I haven't done much research on what to look for when getting it. Thanks for any and all critiques and advice.
