Always ask yourself what games/applications will I use within 3 years or more, and at what resolution ?

I had an AH specs machine that could run at 1440 @ 75hz.

Moving to IL2 it did not just cut it with same resolution (even with 1080)  and was close to unplayable !
My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.

I think you can get what I consider to be a good system for $1000.

We ended up spending closer to $1,500 but got a decent deal I think. I get to upgrade my ride too!

Here is what we got him. We have more memory to make it 64 too.
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!
