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

[Stiboo]

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'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

I thought I was being really clever last january, and bought an intel i7-860, 6 gig Ram, Terabyte harddrive 1920x1080 Dell xps studio blah blah.

Then I found out it had a really bad graphics card, and bought an ATI 5770.
By the time SoW comes out, that'll be rubbish. But that's the way it goes. Mine has so far cost me about £1200.
I should've stuck to the one I pinched from work. Cost me nowt.
There is no ideal solution.
Save some money, and run it with what you've got.
