WD 500gb HDD
Corsair 750 PSU(don't Know what I need to run 2 6970 gpu for the future?)
Win 7 Pro

I know patches are coming soon and with in 6 months this is going to be the best flight sim, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks
Unless I needed a computer right now for other reasons than Il2 CoD, I would wait at least 6 months before I get a new machine. By then the optimizing patches should've been implemented. Only then do you know If CoD will bennefit from SLI/CF, 6-8 cores, 64 bit W7 etc etc. Good chance a $1500 rig will run the game as fast as a $4500 one. Computer technology is always moving along at a fast speed. Right now there are a few new items on the horizon that may change performance significantly. Bulldozer 6-8 core chips and the new Ivey Bridge socket 2011 pin, 6-8 core chips. In six months these should be out.
