Who's waiting to buy a new PC for SoW?
 

There seems to be many people like myself waiting and waiting (..and waiting)to buy a new PC for when Storm Of War:BoB is released, so....

What make/model of PC are we going to buy?

How much should we spend?

for myself i've been looking at a Dell for around £1000 - 1200 ?

ideas please!

Why a Dell?

Just search the components, build it and have more of it.


Ok my step for SoW BoB will definately be a directx 11 card from Nvidia (or a ati 6000, depends on...)

I will stick with my Intel q9550 4x 2,8 Ghz till the new sandy bridge come out in early 2011. They will be awesome.

Well said, but you got to know what you're doing or this can be much more expensive than a prebuilt Dell.

I'm also waiting for the development on the market and looking for a DX11 card.

I already have a shell built last year to tide me over (from which I will be retaining the monitor, Antec case and PSU, Zalman cooler and peripherals).

I will be swapping out the motherboard, CPU, RAM and Graphics Card for something meatier when I know what SoW will require to run smoothly on good settings.

Whatever the 'tier 2' hardware is at that time, most likely (I always go for one rung off the top for a good price/performance ratio).

I am.

I've got a 2.13 Quad core, with 4GB of ram Currently have a 9800GTS Video card, while I'm sure I will be able to "run" the game, I want it to really be beautiful.

I already have a homebuild racing seat, easily modifyable to a cockpit setup.
Planning on:

40" Monitor
Newest ATI card at the time
Upgrade to 16GB of RAM

No waiting here. I built a core i7 screamer 15 months ago. At this point, I will probably upgrade my GPU (my intention, but will leapfrog current hardware GTX4xxx/HD5xxx) and add another 6gb of RAM, but that's about it.

I expect my current system will run it ok, if not spectacularly.

Will wait until after release and see what feedback comes up regarding the needs of the game and how well it runs with different hardware, then make decisions.

Some serious amounts of ram that people are talking about - personally not sure how much is enough or when (if?) it will get to being 'overkill' for the game. I moved to Windows 7 64bit a few months back in preparation but still on 4Gig currently. Oleg said today that there won't be a dedicated 64-bit .exe intially - possibly in future.

I am going to rebuid my rig next year. I plan to get a SSD for windows Il-2 and Bob.

I just finished my current pc,

AMD Phenom II x6 1055T ( 3.2 Ghz )
M4A785TD-V EVO
ATI XFX 5770 XXX
GEIL DDR3 4GB
Corsair 650 Watt

Runs Rise of Flight like a dream along with all my other games.
