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

[Kirito]

My current build

Is Windows 8 pro with media
Intel Core 2 duo professor
4 gb of ram
ATI 5500 video card

I'm planning to upgrade my mother board to an LGA115 and my professor to an intel i7. Since the i7 supposely has its own graphics I wonder if my ATX video card would matter so much.

[Quesse]

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

I think regardless of the level of demand, I want to cast my gameplay and I couldn't' get the highest level out of the game and cast at the same time. hense the upgrade even though the demand is going to be less.

O_O ... how in the world did you get it so wide? Multiple screen?

[Zezlar]

Currently sporting a:

Intel i7 860 @ 2.8GHZ
GTX 680
8GB DDR3

Dropped some cash ($400) on the card so I could max ARR with ease. The CPU on the other hand is not bad at all, but it's definitely not near top of the line. I would like to upgrade it, but I don't feel like buying a new mobo, and a heat sink to update it just yet.

[Allesasi]

Not me. I already have too much computer for this game. My Alienware Aurora kicks ass.

I definitely need a new computer. I was able to run 1.0 fine, albeit the graphics were lowered quite a bit and I still experienced choppyness. Biggest problem is... well I'm not sure what exactly. I'd love a new graphics card cause my current one is awfully old... ATI Radeon HD 4850. Works okay but I swear everytime I update the driver for it one of my games gets borked by it.

Essentially I'm screwed since I have no idea how to build computers, I have a very basic understanding of all this junk. :/

Here is my system specs. Just built it 4 days ago.

Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000

ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

G.SKILL Ares Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory

2 EVGA 012-P3-1470-AR GeForce GTX 470 (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply.

I hope this runs A Realm Reborn at high settings.

those graphics cards are gonna slow you down in the long run. Im guessing it was within the budget or? If budget was not too bad of an issue get SLI 500's (whichever u can afford) or go with 1 670. ( you dont really need SLI unless you are running a dual monitor setup and even then you dont, just for performance with higher resolutions it works a lot better)


Asus P8P61 Pro
Gskill sniper 16gig 4x4
I5-2500k
2x EVGA 560 ti superclocked
Windows 7 pro

(yes I will be upgrading for ARR, getting 2x670's)

(Bizzy -- i'll sell you my 2x 560's for 300 (for both) and one has a 4 year warranty)

Landscape view (and a card/monitor that supports the resolution) or its stretched, its so small i cant tell
