min specs for SOW

[hellbomber]

you left off the most important part for gaming a graphics card, thats a great build but the GPU will make it or break it, if you want to pwn SOW get a 5850 or 5870 and slap an after market cooler on your cpu, i recommend Prolimatech Megahalems

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835242001 just make sure you have case clearance if not you can get something small cheaper

slap 1 or two 120mm fans on that thing and you can OC the 920 to 3.8-4.0 easy no problem, ive got mine at 4.2 and never goes over 75C max or you could leave the stock cooler and go for a mild 3.2 - 3.4 OC

to put anything less than a 5850 on that system would be seriously GPU bottle-necking the system

Yes, you've got so much overhead on the i7 920 that you can oc that thing up to 3.6ghz without a sweat and provided you have a half decent cooler (I put a Thermalright TRUE on mine) you can take it to 4ghz. I have 3 profiles on mine and switch them depending on what I'm doing. I boot at 3ghz for general use, 3.5ghz for most other games and 3.8ghz for all my flight sims and even the first two are overkill most times. I have a profile that runs 4ghz solid as a rock, but I try not to run that profile except in the fall/winter.

That and a solid GPU with ALOT of VRAM (more than 1gb for sure) and you should be fine. You still may not be able to run everything at high (or highest) settings, but it'll still look good without a doubt.

Back to the original question, at this time we have no system specs from Oleg. I would imagine we should most likely have an idea early next year.

just by looking at the thread title and seeing it then contained a post by Tree, it was fair to presume he used the occasion to add more of his monotone whining

and hey presto, i was right !

because it is a thread discussing computer specs, and without contributing anything to the topic under discussion you just use the occasion to echo your exact same same negative defeatist banter about BoB you always post here
