.. I wanted to show off my computer specs:
AMD FX-8350 8 core 4Ghz processor
24GB DDR3 1600 - I'd have put another 8GB in, but that slot is taken up by a huge air cooler. I'd have gone with higher memory, but I had got paid on a Friday, Amazon had a great deal, and it arrived at my house on Saturday for only $8.99 shipping!
Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit
Radeon 6850 - I've had this since it came out, I'll get something better maybe once the new cards come out this year
Samsung Pro 840 SSD - fastest on the market right now - this holds my operating system and some games
Western Digital 1TB - this holds tv shows, music, etc.
Razer Lycosa keyboard - this gets bad reviews (some models had a problem), but I needed a cheap backlit keyboard and it works fine for me
Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D Omega Wireless Headset
Viewsonic 27" LCD monitor
I'd consider going dual monitors, but I've never really liked that for one game.. I'd probably want to open my game on one monitor, leave the internet open on the second.
