With that gpu you should be glad if it runs at all, way below system requirements.Originally Posted by frnklwrnr

What do you want to know? if this is a good deal or not?
That's not good for gaming.
A good setup, but your system builder is making this computer affordable by putting a weak GPU in it.
If you want to play ArmA2 better look out for a setup with a P67-mainboard (e.g. Asus P8P67) and a 4-core Intel CPU. 6 cores are (not yet) required.
8GB RAM are more than enough for now too if you want to save a few bucks more.
Then get the best GPU you can afford (GTX 460, 470, 560, 570, 580; ATI 6870, 6950, 6970).

@ the water coolers:
You can easaly watercol the CPU and or GPU with waterblocks. like said before the s1156 is the same size as s1155 so that wont be a problem to find. But for GPU full cover waterblocks it can take upto 3 months after release of the card before you can get a nice waterblock to come with it.
Remember! when you watercool a CPU the airflow around it is reduced by the absence of the CPU cooler blowing cool air on the chipsets besides it making it harder to overclock. You can solve this by adding an extra cooler right over the CPU area or by adding a fullcover waterblock to the motherboard, but this second option is not cheap (as are the GPU blocks)
Im not sure where you live but:

These two stores are the specialists in watercooling and offer most blocks for a GPU + advice when needed
The Vertex 3 SSD i think you will not be ble to buy next month, as it usually takes about 2 to 4 months after introduction before you can buy it in the stores
@lukestephens: Why the specs? This is not a caseshow
Ok then i will remake it but is there any computers for 2 to 3 grand that will run it with out making or upgrading it?

Luke there are many pcs out there that will play arma2CO just fine, Im planning a build thats going to cost about £1600 which will be better than what you buy from a shop for 2/3 grand.
Learning to build and OC will also give you new skills, plus saving you loads of cash.
I see in your list you've changed your GPU to a quadro, Its the same sort of GPU as the last one you chose.
the best cards on the market are the Nvidia GTx580 and the ATI 6970.
As you've clearly got to much bloody money, Get one of these whilst your at it...

I paid roughly 1 grand in Euros for mine, just the rig, no monitor, keyboard, mouse. I never heard of that GPU you got in that updated setup, but if you got 2-3 grands you can easily get a GTX580, or even two in SLI. If it blows your budget, replace the 240GB SSD with a 120GB and get an extra standard mechanical HDD for data storage. I got one (SSD 120) too, Windows + ArmA2:OA with loads of addons including two different ACE versions, about 5 extra islands etc. take up about 55GB.
Look for a Sandy Brigde Intel CPU + Board (Socket 1155, not 1156).
Still that updated setup seems to be a bit of a ripoff to me for 2-3 grands..

Lol i dont have alot of money just saving up a long time
Serious thought, Learn to build the pc yourself, This saves you cash in the short term and the very long term.
Buidling a PC is literally like lego, Most stuff only goes in one particular place, Failing that, theres gozillians of tutorials online that can help you out with building a pc, Not to mention, Right here.
Aye, if Crash can do it, anyone can! Even me!
It will teach you so much, and those skills will be valuable if you ever need to replace a component.
