I've got:
AMD Phenom II 965 3.4 quad core
8 GIG RAM
Win 7 64 bit
ATI 6870 GPU

Highly recommended.

Here's my system:

MOBO: ASUS Crosshair III Formula,
RAM: 8GB G Skill DDR3 1333,
CPU: AMD 965 Phenom II - 3.4GHz Quad-Core,
Cooling: ZALMAN 9500AT,
HD: (2) WD Black Edition, 1TB games, 500 GB operating system and programs,
GPU: EVGA GTX 470, (I’m going to upgrade to a 570 when CoD is released)
CD/DVD: LG with LightScribe,
Sound: Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty Pro,
PSU: Corsair 850HX Modular,
Case: Cooler Master Centurion 590,
OS: Windows 7 64-bit,

I think any newer build with lots of RAM and a good GPU is going to play IL2 CoD just fine.

Either the Sandy Bridge i5-2500K or i7-2600K for the CPU .

Early Sandybridge MB's were recalled recently due to an issue with the secondary (3rd/4th) SATA ports so make absolutely sure you are being supplied with current post-recall stock with the fixed chipset. Most distributors would have returned any faulty stock for replacement already, but best to be careful.

XP is great for IL-2 but not for Dover . . . She's been a wonderful OS, but when the P-51D arrives, I'm just going to have let the 109E go for a Kurfurst

Same, except I want multi-screen gaming, with a one card option. That only leaves AMD.
