I see no reason why IL2 shouldn't work with that card. And compared to the 6900 series it's much cheaper.
The real bottle neck will probably be the CPU, so get a good one.

You have it right, we can get by on lesser GPU's. What we really need is a CPU!
Something that clocks high like the new 2500K sandy balls! And before this starts a "but sandy bridge is broken" thread, Its not that big of a deal. I'd get:

2500K( 2600K is too much $ for for the difference)
Z68 MoBo (when they come out)
8GB 1600 RAM
I'm keeping my 2X HD 5770 CF AMD GPU (it = a 5870)
at least a 128GB SSD for OS and steam games(also don't start a whin fest bout steam) and old hard drive for other stuff
