Well, for some time now I've been wanting to upgrade my outdated "gaming" PC. Currently my specs are:
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 620 Processor 2.60 Ghz
Memory: (x2)Samsung 2GB DDR3 1333MHz Pc3-10666 240-Pin Cl9 Non-E
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT 220 (1GB Memory)
Motherboard: Foxconn H-RS880-uATX
HD: 500 GB 7200 rpm SATA 3G (3.0 Gb/sec)
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
PSU: Hp Bestec Atx0300d5wc 300w ATX Power Supply
I mainly want to play Arma 3 and most of the upcoming graphically demanding games on high- very high settings. I don't want to spend more than $2000. I want an Intel based processor (I'm thinking an i-5). As for the GPU I am leaning towards NVIDIA because of their software and gaming optimizations. Everything else is open to you. I'm looking for suggestions as to which models of the things I have said above (Intel based processor, NVIDIA GPU), and suggestions for components on the PSU, HD, Motherboard, Memory, and Sound Card. All responses are appreciated! Thanks!
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: Cyber Monday
Budget Range: $700-$2000

Location: Cleveland, Ohio
Parts Preferences: Intel CPU, and a NVIDIA GPU
Overclocking: No, I haven't had any experience with overclocking.
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Your Monitor Resolution: Want to get a 1920x1080 Monitor
Additional Comments: Ascetics have no influence on my decision. Mainly going to be playing Arma 3 with friends as well as the more graphically demanding games in the future. I want to play on High-Very High settings.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I can't run Arma 3, also I want to run Beam NG Drive at a high frame-rate.
