I want to be able to play BF:BC2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat, Bioshock 2, Starcraft 2 on Ultra-uber-my-pc-is-beter-then-yours-****** settings. So, what do guys recommend me to buy?
The following items are proberly not needed to be replaced: Monitor: Samsung 22 inch monitor, 2ms. 3000:1. (i found it hoewever impossible with my current machine to pick a higher resoluation then 1650*1050 while my dad's shitty pc is able to have a res. of 2250*something)
Keyboard: Chicony LTD. Mouse: Compaq, 2 buttons and a mousewheel. Headset: Logitech 40 euro's version.
I'll proberly need new:
Motherboard CPU (dunno if need cooling and power is required with those) New RAM memory sticks (not sure, but proberly) Grahpics card. Again not sure which 1 to get, I would go for that ATI card of 2 gig memory not sure if it's a good choice, then again the Nvidea card gives me nothing but trouble, crashes and overall gay and dissapointing performance.
Any suggestions would be welcomed with love, from Russia!
Just a quick one, dunno how much money you want to spent. Maybe you will need a new powersupply.

You monior native and max resolution is 1650x1080, it wont go higher, your father probably has a old monitor, multisync monitors even 15" could do alot more, doenst mean you needed it.
1650x1080 is more then fine for 22"
As for the specs Dan posted some good ones, off course this all depends on the budget you have, without that we cant help much. [ image disabled ]
The budget...hmmm. Well I want to able to run at least the new Stalker and Bioshock on high without trouble. But 850 euro's just for the grahpics card is a bit much. I'd say 1.000 - 2.000 on the total upgrade, with the cheapests and best quality possible ofcourz.
About the monitor thing, it's not that I would like to go higher I was just wondering why my gamer pc couldn't do it and my dad's crap could (yes he uses a 15" 500pound weighting monitor)

Yikeeess !!! You can build an ÜberPC with that money, just give me some time to think about the list. [ image disabled ] [ image disabled ] "I Have a Rendezvous with Death. And I to my pledged word am true,I shall not fail that rendezvous." - Alan Seeger

Dear little Red, have just rebuilt my comp all thats left is the case.(got carried away with it) New spec. MB. Asus M4N82 Deluxe (Awsome board Tripple sli)
CPU. AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black clocked at 3600 GPU. Palit GTX 260 Sonic ( Replaced 2x8800gt sli) factory overclockd. 4 Gig kingston Hyper 800 Watt Power Modular.( The first one blew up after 2 weeks) Next is a HDMI 23inch monitor when the old bits have been sold. Very happy with it all speed and grahics have improved plus lots of update headroom god knows what tripple SLI on 3x 260 will do. Lots out there to select from so good luck with your choice. [ image disabled ] If at first you don't succeed give up before you look a complete idiot.
There you go Jona. A PC which will run all games that you listed on high details.
A quick summary:
CPU: Intel Core i7 920 currently one of the powerful CPU on the market Memory: 12 GB DDR 3-1600 should be enough for the future Mainboard: ASUS P6T SE With X58 chipset, good manufacture, good quality, Crossfire opportunity Graphic: HIS ATI 5870 DirectX 11 compatible, BF:BC2 and STALKER using the new engine Powersupply: Thermaltake 700W good manufacture, me,mark,max using it HDD: 2x 640GB WD Caviar Total 1280GB of free space Case:??? just pick one Drive: Blu-ray Combo Can read Blue-rays and write DVD/CD´s
So a complete new PC which should be run fine for the next few years. [ image disabled ] [ image disabled ] "I Have a Rendezvous with Death. And I to my pledged word am true,I shall not fail that rendezvous." - Alan Seeger
Is blue-ray needed and can blue-ray read/run dvd's/cd-roms?
It´s not really needed, but the gaming industry is already discussing to switch to it.And they arent expensive as they were. It can read DVD/CD as well burn them.

Next question is a new case needed I have an avergeled case now, can I build the new stuff in it. gonna make a picture of it this evenin'
Do a picture, if its too old, the heat cant get out but these are only the really old ones, Just post a picture then we check it [ image disabled ] [ image disabled ] "I Have a Rendezvous with Death. And I to my pledged word am true,I shall not fail that rendezvous." - Alan Seeger
Is it 1 stick of 12 gb, if so wouldn't it be wiser to have like 2 of 3gb or 2 of 4gb?
it´s 6 sticks ála 2GB. We need at least 3 sticks. there no thing like a stick with 3 gb and 4 gb sticks are ridicoulisly expensive (200,-€ for one 4 GB)

isnt 12 gig ram overkill?
Not for an Core i7. We need at least 3 sticks ála 2 GB to use Triple Channel. Besides that is normal to have nowadays 8 GB memory, jus a matter of time until the minimum requirements are getting up to 4 GB or 8 GB ram.
