I just upgraded to a 570, which pretty much keeps my computer up to date (i7 920 @ 3.0, 6 gig DDR3).

Looking forward to this a lot.

This is proving to be an expensive hobby!

I've just ordered a CH Combat Stick, Pro Throttle, and Simped rudder pedals.

Next month it'll be a new i5-2500K based system to replace my aging E8200 Core 2 Duo.

Total cost going to be £800+.

I need to go and lie in a darkened room for a bit now...

I'm running with an E8400, and a marvellous 3870 GPU. Just pricing up a 2500K 15 build, not sure what GPU to plum for?

Tricky one - I'm going to make do with my GTX260-216 until the devs bring in DX11 - by which time hopefully the GTX 570 will be down to £150.

Is it all the sandy bridge boards or just some and does it affect the ones not yet delivered? Couldn't make it from the article..

Pretty much same rig, minus the tripple head. I have a 27 inch 2500 res monitor that may force me to upgrade to play this game fully.
I also am running XP service pack 3. Someone just offered me another (used) 285 for 140 bucks to go SLI, but my 650 power supply might not take the extra.
I am going to see how it works, and what works better with the game before I decide.
I already have the newest TIR and a full CH pro set.
