I'll wait for the reactions of the community on SH5 and all the UBI-bugfixes and perhaps some essential SH5-mods. This means, I'll start playing SH5 in 2011 or 2012. I'm a late-bloomer - I just finished modding my SH3/GWX and now I'll finally start my first SH3-career. Advantage: SH3-capable hardware is cheap now. The same will be 2012 with SH5-capable hardware.

Hi, only thing I may do and if I can scrap up some money is buy an external hard rive for this and any mods or expansions for it. basicaly a whole hd to it. I like to keep naval sims separate from other games.

I am upgrading my video card but not just for silent hunter 5..Silent hunter 5 was just the nail sticking through the chair telling me to get off my ass and retire that good old 8600GT(I will miss her she was the best card I ever had for overclocking)anyways.....
MY two cents as follows.....
Like others say here build your own PC..I do..Its better in the long run and cheaper to upgrade over time..If you spend a few dollars dollars more and get a good motherboard/case/psu then the only thing you need to upgrade over a two year period will be your video card..If you shop around and do some research before you buy any part for your PC you will come out way ahead in the long run....I have to do things wise and on a budget because I have two kids who both have there own computers I have to upgrade over time also..

two choices is missing from the poll, I think:

3) I don't need an upgrade, I presume my pc can handle the game
4) I can't afford an upgrade. If SH5 runs okay on low settings, that will do for now...

Personally, I think mine will do, both laptop and desktop, but I really don't know for sure now, so if any of them doesn't, it will be later, when I have a better job...

I have a Dell Studio XPS with 8Gig of ram and a 1gig nVidia card. Think this will be enough for it. I'm pretty sure it would work other than maybe updating the video card later. Look forward to the game, but just hope it's not a lot of eye candy.

I'm running a Pentium D 925 at 3Ghz with a Nvidia 9600GT.
Do you think i need an upgrade?

Because I sure do!

My new gtx 260 rocks i can play crysis with very high settings,am ready for SH5,ARMA 2 still run like a dog.I try to post a picture of my new card but for some reason i couldn't do it

Fortunately I buy a high-end system once in a while and therefore usually don't have to do "smaller PC upgrades" for specific games. Those high-end PCs might be rather expensive, but I can play any game I want on high/maximum details for one to two years or even more. ^^

My current quad-core and my GTX260 should be able to handle SH5.
