you would be totally fine on AH with that. Hell you'd be fine on BF4 / Skyrim too.

I was worried about someone named swinger asking everyone to look at his unit. :confused:

Yeah, pretty hot. You could get a little crazier with the video card but its great as it is.

Everything concerning AH and also a couple of other games has already been said. That rig would belong to the 20% top performers in this game, if I've read correctly between the lines.

One thing, though: Get a decent hard disk! Not anything "Green"... SSD's make things start fast, but for the gameplay a good spinning disk will perform equally well. Western Digital Black series are quite good and not too expensive compared to the slower ones.

That is the 64 bit version of W7 I hope? Otherwise no 16 GB of ram for you.

Those hardware choices will work great.

If you go with the Windows7 Home Premium 64 Bit OS, you are at the maximum limit of memory that this version of Windows 7 64 bit OS will acknowledge

if you switch from windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit OS   and upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit OS, you pass that 16 GB memory threshold and can go all the way up to 192 GB's of Memory Capacity...

just so you know.... 16 GB's isn't bad at all... just letting you know the Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit OS version tops out at no more than 16 GB's ......


Hope This may be of some help

Thanks T-Chaser, now I know :aok

no problem, anytime I can be of help or anything, sir....

one other note: Just because Windows 7 Professional, or Ultimate, or Enterprise  lets a person have anywhere from 4 GB's up to 192 GB's of Memory capacity, does not mean that their Motherboard is capable of supporting such huge amounts

most at this time are only able of supporting up to 32 GB's with a few Motherboards capable of supporting more like up to 64 GB's...... with out add-on apapters ( trying to recall from memory if that is still an option??? )

But, the Windows 7 Pro , the Windows 7 Enterprise and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS's, do offer more options over Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit...... it is up to the User, whether they need which ever particular version..... I would just recommend the minimum being Windows 7 Professional 64 bit as my starting point................ then go up from there depending on what you need......

Just a little more about it

Hey T-Chaser, researched windows 7 home  pream. It will cover all my needs.
Again thanks for the input.

I'm thinking of changing my ID from SWINGER to SEDATE/SLOWLY/CALM/QUIETLY, HELP me chose?
