Are you going to upgrade because of ARMA 3?

[Dingo8]

With luck I won't have to upgrade at all to get the visual quality and performance that I want. I've got an i7 2600K @ 3.8 ghz, 4x4 GB RAM @ 1333mhz, and a GTX 690. I predict I might have to overclock my CPU a little to get better frames in dense urban areas.

Definately. I guess my i7 2600k should be enough to play the game, but I´ll replace my Sapphire Toxic HD5850 with a state of the art card. I´m not sure if it will be ATI or NVIDIA. I had no bad experiences with my current card, but maybe some guy will make a great mod that introduces hardware accelerated PhysX stuff.....
Maybe I´ll get a SSD too

You might need an SSD for smooth and unjitted play too

Especially for 20km view distance

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Definitely getting an SSD just for A3 when it comes out.

AMD 5870 ----> Nvidia 680

[Tonci87]

Well lets see,
New GPU: aprox. 300€
new PSU to power the new GPU if my 550W PSU isn´t enough? aprox 80€
new SSD aprox 200€
Arma 3 49,99€ (or more if there is a collectors edition)

aprox. 630€
Oh shit

Yep, probably looking to spend around the $1500 aud mark on some new bits and pieces. New CPU, GPU, RAM, mobo, SSD...

oh goody

[Sethos]

Yup, upgraded a few weeks back. ( Signature )

This machine's primary use is ArmA 3.

[Mr. Bravo]

Yeah, when A3 is released I'll get myself new gfx-cards, depending on what brand works best for the game. Should be good timing for next generation. But for the upcoming alpha my current system will have to do though. It's in my sign, but I recently also upgraded it with i7 3770 @4.5Ghz and 16GB of Corsair Dominator RAM

Arma is the only game that still require upgrades, which is real awesome because there's so much joy in new hardware!

[St. Jimmy]

Yes. I'll upgrade my HD4870 1GB, maybe my 500W PSU and I'll maybe buy SSD. GPU upgrade is a must but I'm not yet sure about that SSD and PSU. I already bought i7 2600K but I haven't tried to overclock it because I have 'only' 500W PSU just in case.
