I'll have the hard drive partitioned, so that I can keep XP running, too.

Does the below sound like a system that would handle CoD, and other future sims, for awhile?

Asus Sabertooth P67 motherboard
EVGA GTX570HD 1280 MB GDDRS Memory
8gb Corsair DDR3 1600mhz
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
Intel Ci7 2600k 3.4 Ghz 8mb cache
Installation

one thing i see that was not listed was a power supply..if you are running XP right now i have a feeling your current PSU will not be enough to power the video card you have chosen.
and if your trying to get in at around $1000 just make a post saying "build me a rig for a $1000" trust me you will get alot of choices and a really nice system in the end. my rig (see Sig) cost me right around $500 if i had a $1000 to spend i would have a smoking fast rig

I didn't put it on the list, because I don't know which one I will get, will find out a power tomorrow.

Thanks,

It's probably kinda like being supporters of a sports team, but I would always suggest the Asus/Intel combo when it comes to MoBo/CPU, and I wouldnt get anything but an nVidia GPU... but that's me.

Rampage2, i5 quad, GSX460, would make a fairly good rig IMHO. 700w PSU would be more than enough.
NOTE: RampageII supports *some* i5's but not all of them. Double check that you have the right stuff before you order.
