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 !

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.
