As long as a system delivers 45+ frames per second at the better settings, at 1920x1200 or 1280x800, I'm good. If I need to drop into Medium at 1280x800, I'm going to look for an upgrade.
Nice!

I saw a deal today for an i7-6700K, GTX 1080, 256 GB SSD, blah blah blah for about $1200 and about wept because I can't jump on it right now. I have been planning on an upgrade early next year due to the issues my computer has been having and the components cost more than that, without install, the OS, and a bunch of additional stuff they tacked on for "free" like LED keyboard, gaming headset, etc. Hopefully there is something similar when I get my tax return back.

Although I do admit I enjoy the process when I am doing it. Just as long as I don't need to do it often.
