How About This?

NO!!!!!
MB is about 2 yrs behind technology curve.
Integrated Intel Graphics will not be good for IL-2 let alone SoW.

What is your budget? Do you already have a system, from which components could be reused?

While you can put in a new GPU, the MB is going to limit what chip you can put into it.
It's like taking a pinto and putting a Porsche motor into it. Sure it's fast, but it still can't corner for squat.

no friends have any computers to donate... does the computer i have shown be able to play the game at 60fps on a high settings?
15.12.2010, 10:53
No it will not, I'm afraid.
I wonder who achieves 60fps as an average here, so you can judge the system requirements to reach that.
What screen size and resolution would you like to have? Since you don't have a system yet, it's an important component and the window to your virtual world(s).

When running Vsync on (Using TrackIr) I get about 62fps on avg.
With Vsync off I get about 204 fps on avg.
System is running OpenGL in Perfect Mode, HSFX 4.1, Effects High, Perfect Map Textures, NavMap, NoMapFrame, HudConfigPAL v.2, Mavin Hit Effects 2.1.
My specs are as follows:
AMD Phenom Quad Core 9850 @ 2.2ghz/core.
ASUS Crosshair MB
16gb DDR2 Ram + 16gb Ram on after market expansion card (Using 16gb as RamDrive for Swapfile)
Nvidia GTX 295 x 2 in SLI for video (1680 x 1050).
1tb HD x 2 (2tb total) for storage.
Nvidia 10/100/1000 Lan (built into the MB) x 2.
RealTek 7.1 Audio (built into the MB).

Then they add a game into the bundle as a freebie, when the comp is not powerful enough to run it...

Marketing.
They want to appeal to the gamers that don't know any better.
That's why guys come here and ask. So they can be a bit more educated in their decisions and not get ripped off.

RadPig,
It is very very good that you ask for advice.
NO!!! (
) The system of the link which you gave will not cut it. My 2007 laptop outperforms that system. The CPU only gets up to 1.8 Ghz and a bunch of other shortfalls in the system. You'll need at least approximately 2.8 Ghz CPU or higher for IL-2. If you want to run Storm of War and other great sims, then you should try to get a CPU with Ghz well into the 3+ range if you can afford it. A CPU for SoW will beg for at least a Quad (4 cores) CPU.
Look for DirectX 11 compatible GPUs. I consider 4GB of RAM to be the minimum, though more is better. For Storm of War, get at least a GTX 460 or HD Radeon 5000 series card.

im only playing 1946 no SOW, 1946 will the most cpu hungry game ill have on my computer, the other games i have GTA: san andreas and an ass load of console emulators which require very very little power that even my laptop ran those games at 60 fps

Radpig,
I understand you're trying to save money, but it sounds like you're just trying to justify buying this rig to yourself.
We've explained the pitfalls of purchasing this system, but if you're bound and determined to try and make a silk purse out of a sows ear, then so be it.
Good luck.
