CPU: i7 950@4.00Ghz
CPU Cooling: Noctua NH-D14
Memory: x3 2GB 1600Mhz
VGA: GTX580 @850/1.088v, have Accelero Xtreme Plus installed.
OS/FFXIV SSD: OCZ Vertex II 60GB SSD
Case: Thermaltake Element G (mid tower, not so spacy, but it's fine, I had to remove the HDD cage to fit AXP though)

I have all settings at max (I play on 720p though, it's the most comfortable since I browse/vent a lot), except for AC and DoF. FPS is usually between 43-45 in crowded areas (Ul'dah, usually above 50 by crowded crystals), 60FPS otherwise.

It's funny that even after upgrading my GPU cooler the game still manage to hit 70/71c when GPU usage reach 99% (usually around 58c-65c, unless I zoom the camera to max and put focus above my char, then GPU usage drops and temps go down to 40s), while AC: Brotherhood on the other hand won't even break 51c... (like most other games)
Finally someone who is honest about their results :P Yeah I usually just put my fan at 72% and leave it like that while I play lol. I love AC brotherhood for pc ^^
