I have an HP Compaq with 2 gigs of ram and an ASUS ENGT240 which only cost $100.Runs Rise of Flight like it's nothin,Bad Company 2 like a beast,FSX like it's not even there.DCS:Black Shark clocks at around 20-30FPS.CoDs 4,WaW,MW2 run like a beast as well.Not even mentioning the $70 500GB hard drive.
The overall value of my box is around $750,not alot at all.
Oh yeah it also uses an ''Old now'' Core2 Duo.Avging at 2.83GHz.

BTW these games are all set to max settings too.
for $750 you'll get:

- MSI 890GXM-G65 mobo
- X4 955 BE C3
- 260GTX OC(said to have 96% performance of GTX280)
- 4 Gigs of DDR3
- BQ 550W PSU
- 500GB HDD


Thats my build [in fact, I built this for IL2 only, lol]and I spent pretty much exactly that amount.

SoW will probably require a new CPU (or cooler if I decide to OC) and new GPU(no maybe here).
And if the prices of SSD's drop...
