Who's upgrading their system for the ARR (Beta or Release) (Specs?)

Awe man, my format sucks ^^
Thats just for now and i do have a HDD and power source, and my monitor cost twice as much as my PC lol WOOT!!! Sharp!

I'm going to upgrade my mobo and cpu this summer, kinda like what Bizzy just posted /jealous

Current Specs:
Intel Core i7-3930K Six-Core overclocked to 4.7 GHz
G.SKILL Trident X Series 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 2400MHz CL10 Quad Channel Kit set to XMP Profile 1.
ASUS (GTX680-DC2O-2GD5) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 2GB GDDR5

I plan to upgrade to Nvidia Titan and Ivy Bridge Extreme when hardware is available.

Oh, yeah now I see it.. the whole post is cluttered up I mixed up parts XD. Yeah it's High ranged lol

I'm in the process of saving for a complete custom build, but this is what I'm currently looking at:

MB: Asus P8Z77-V Pro (Intel Z77 ATX)
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570K (3.4GHz) QUAD CORE 77W
RAM: Kingston 16GB DDR3-1600 (2x8GB)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 2GB

I don't plan to update my specs, can't afford it at this time, but I thought it would be okay because they said ARR should be easier to run than FF14; one of their main goal is to reach wider audiences. Is this true? Or Should I be upgrading?

As Yoshi-P said before, If your computer worked for FFXIV 1.0, It will 100% work for FFXIV ARR ( with better performance).

Currently sporting:
Intel Core i7 860 @ 2.80Ghz
8GB DDR3 RAM
Radeon HD7970

Damn... that's a beast of a computer.. I should at least upgrade my GPU to what you have.. However, HD Radeon 6770 is good enough for the time being. =)

Why would you upgrade? It's shouldn't be as demanding as the previous game.
