Do you have an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600? Which stepping?
For the RAM, DDR2 or DDR3?
Even with an i7 4770K, you can't run CoH 2 on max.
A game use almost 75% GPU and 25% CPU on average.
You must have an AMD Radeon HD 7970 GE (or better) or an Nvidia Geforce GTX 770 (or better) to run CoH 2 on max, if that.
Thanks all for your replies.
I decided to spend a bit more money on this upgrade. With Bill Me Later option on newegg.com I could spend $500 bucks and get it paid off in 6 months with no problem.
So what kind of game settings will I get with these build?
I5 4430 3.0 MHz CPU
Radeon HD 7870 2GB GZH edition
Gigabyte B85 HD3 motherboard
Windows 7
G. Skill Ripjaws 8GB RAM DDR3 1600mhz ( I can always upgrade it to 16GB)
Also, don't forget that when you get new CPU you need a new mobo. When you get new mobo you need new Windows. So it's impossible to just simply upgrade your CPU. You need to build a new rig pretty much from the bottom and up.
