Hey guys im going to buy a new system. thats why i have some questions (and yes i know the minimum requirements are known) :
1. Shell i take the i5 760, any other i5 or the amd phenom 2 x6 1090t
2. which grafikcard shell i take gtx560ti or the corresponding ati?
3. i′m going to take 4 gb ram so am im going to be able to play crysis 2 lagfree? or is it going to be that i′m not able to play it lagfree as c1 with the 6 years old high end system...

1. i5 2500k
2. gtx570 if u can afford it, if not 560ti is fine
3. 4 is fine

Same as above except you may as well get 8GB at this point for the extra ￡40. Since it'll only be a year or two before games (maybe sooner for bf3!) start creeping past the 4GB usage barrier alongside everything else. Plus RAM is getting more expensive soon, not cheaper.

The i5-2500K is plain awesome at 4.5-5GHz

except i5's use tri-channel ram?? so he would need 6gig of ram (3x2gb) or higher to gain decent proformance out of it.

sandybridge use dual channel ram and so does i5 2500k

I was thinking of 2600K
GTX 460 1GB (SLI)

1. Get the i7 2600K, i7 950, or 1090T. All are good buys.
2. GTX 560 Ti or higher from Nvidia will run fine.
3. 4 GB in dual channel or 6 GB of RAM in triple channel is fine.

The 2600k is not worth it the extra money above 2500k. The 2500k oc's considerably better and it is quite a bit cheaper then it;s bigger brother. Get the 2500k and better go for a dx11 nvidia card (1 or sli if u can afford it).

I noticed more people not interested in the 2600K I think I can also buy the I5 and do a upgrade later but what is it with the 560 / 570? A GTX460 1GB you get for almost half the price of a 560 and more as the half of a 570. This while a single GTX460 will probably just run fine in high settings. Wanna go for very high go for GTX460 1GB SLI. That’s faster as the 560 and the 570 for almost the same cost of a 460 and cheaper as a 570. And it's all DirectX 11.

I don't know the requirements for BF3, Arma II (any more upcoming heavy games?) but it will probably also be pretty future-proof.

ALL sandy bridge CPU's use dual channel memory and not tripple.
So i5-2500 and i7-2600 both use dual channel memory.

Sandybridge is a family of processors, it supports up to Quad channel RAM.

not quite,that is sandy bridge-E,mostly known as "Waimea Bay"
normal sandy bridge is only dual channel memory and supports natively 1333mhz memory beacuse the uncore (memory controller)is set at 2667mhz (twice the mem speed)

http://www.dvhardware.net/article42239.html

waimea bay is in the LGA 2011 socket

sandy bridge is in lga 1155

"Sandybridge" is the family name, just as "Nehalem" was the family name to both i5's and i7's but both of those sub-family CPU's had different feature-sets, such as dual-channel vs tri-channel memory.

These are the top tier families on Intel's roadmap, as you can see "Waimea Bay" and "Sandy Bridge-E" aren't top tier, which was the point of my previous post The name in itself suggests it's part of a larger family.

Its a good system.

LGA 2011 socket, X68 express chipset, Question, With this new technology thats coming out in Q4 2011, Are your video games going tobe alot better than they are, and how will you utilize this new technology to benefit the PC world!

The consoles need to do alot of catching up now! what i'm mean is I do not want PC in the consoles shadow with this "New Technology"! I would like to see "HIGH QUALITY GAMES FOR PC"!!!

O by the way is there any chance of a "Crysis Wars 2" if so could you start it after the New Technology comes out because I'm saving my money for this technology and I want Crysis Wars 2 to be the best of the best if your going to make!!!

would prefer ATI card
