What's your opinion on these specs?
I'm usually playing Silent Hunter III, Doom 3, IL-2 Sturmovik 1946, Red Orchestra and I just got Silent Hunter IV: Wolves of the Pacific...

Please excuse me if I'm a bit confused. Is this a rig your waiting on or do you already have it ?
The reason I ask is haven't you tried any of your games on it ?
Trust me it won't blow up.
If you look at my Sig other than PS you have a way more modern rig than I do and I play GWX2.1 with OLC mods and a few others and my fps in harbor or in convoy attacks is never less then 40 to 50 fps.
In open ocean 150 fps.
In SH4 TMO\RSRD modded heavily and game sliders fairly high and most boxes ticked it's about the same fps with no slowdown or stutter in either game.
Get a baseline of how your games play now and write it down for a reference to compare later.
I don't know how big your wallet is right now, but a better vid card and a PS to run it go hand in hand.
Most people around here are lucky to have 2 gigs of ram so I wouldn't worry about that for now.
Ram is cheap right now but will show neglidgable difference if your vid card is lacking.
As stated above, try your games first and see how your rig works.
All the ram in the world won't help if vid card is lacking.
As for tweaking and overclocking, refer to the BIG WALLET phrase if you don't know what your doing.
Good luck GOOBER and let us know how things are going and how your games play with what you have for info for the rest of us.
