Building myself new rig, who has smooth gameplay?

[W0ef]

I have very smooth gameplay with only the patch installed (not the keygety nossao en lowtex stuff) lowest I get is around 20 flying over london.

Everything maxed out on the settings, resolution at 1360 x 768 (highest res my monitor supports)

My system is a:

i5-2500k overclocked to 4.5 GHZ
Radeon HD6970 only overclocked a tiny bit
8 Gig Kingston DDR-3 @ 1600mhz
MSI p67a-gd65 b3 Motherboard

That is a nice setup, you haven't been skimping on the parts!

Keep 'em coming!

Upgraded especially to run this to be honest (I´m terrible like that, can´t stand not being able to run something decent, Maddox should get a percentage of Hardware sales for the amount of people they forced to upgrade)

All in all it set me back around 750$ but I´m set for the next few years I hope and I needed to upgrade sooner or later anyway.

EDIT: Bang for bucks I think this is one of the better setups you can build. Although I might consider swapping out the HD6970 for a Gefore 580GTX.
You wont need a 2600k processor since Hyperthreading isn´t used by any game right now, make sure to get the K version of the 2500 though so you can overclock it in combination with a P67 chipset mobo. HD6970 has plenty of VRAM and power and can also be overclocked fairly easy if needed.
