Forgot to mention, I built that machine in the winter of 2007 with pretty much every component being something I found on SlickDeals. Whole thing cost me under $900 including a ThermalTake 700W PSU and a Cooler Master RC690 case. Although, at the time it had an 8800 GT instead of the 4870 I put in there now.

OS: Windows Vista Ultimate x64
CPU: Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.798 GHz
RAM: 6GB OCZ DDR3 1600
HDD: 2x74GB Raptor raid 0, 1TB Caviar Black, 750GB Caviar Green, 2x500GB RE2 in raid 0, 320GB Caviar PATA
Video: nVidia GeForce 7950GT 512MB
Sound: Intergrated sound via digital coax. Logitech z-5500 speakers.
Input Device: Logitech MX5500
Monitor: 25.5" Samsung 2693HM

What are you guys using for a cooling solution for your i7's? I'm on the stock cooler for now until I can do more research. That or the koolance solution.

Before any smartass makes a comment, a GTX275 is on the way.

The card isn't DX11, but the OS is running DX11. Sorry for the confusion.

And yeah, I didn't remember the i7 920's stock speed correctly. It's 2.66GHz, double my bad.

For cooling, I'm using the stock heatsink and fan, plus all of the fans in the Antec 1200.

Zerotoss, 1 can easily find out what my specs are, but can't be bothered. It's an off the shelf laptop that's pretty decent IMHO (for what I use it for) and no, I don't game on my PC so I don't need the latest and greatest anything.

Secondly I know how to build a PC,I know what all the main parts do and how they work together. Im already the tech guy in my family.

As you can see, the downvote torrent reflects my feelings; these guys are a little too fanboyish, even to us fanboys.
(That or everyone is jealous of their hyper-rigs)

That's good to know.

OS: Mac OS 10.4.11
CPU: Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC G4
RAM: 2 GB PC133 SDRAM
HDD: 4x300 RAID, 2x120 RAID
Video: Radeon 9800 128 MB

I somehow don't think my supercomputer will be able to run it. The best thing about my computer is that it's a Mac in a custom case. If you couldn't guess, I'm a console gamer.

Down votes for the win. I mean, Its a system post, Why the hell cant i post MY SYSTEM. >:O

just getting this for the controller to play it on my 360

can I have the game then? :)

Guess it's my turn then.

Core i7 920 OC @ 3.3 ghz
6 Gb Corsair Xms3 1333
Asus P6T
Seagate 1Tb HDD
Wd 250 GB
Nvidia 9800gtx+

I plan to get a new card soon. Other than that, my setup kicks ass. :)

Input device: Ps2 controller.

OS:Windows XP pro
CPU: AMD 1.8ghz
RAM: 1GB DDR2
HDD: 240gb
Video: Geforce 7600 GT ultra
Sound: Direct Sound, DirectX 9
Input Device: ...a Black Mouse? It has silver Strips too : D
Monitor : Cheapo-ass 17"

Suck it

I envy your silver strips.

Well I can't run it....But I guess I'll still be buying it 4 the Fight Pad.

can I have the game then? :)

sorrry for the double post but both people said the same thing. if you are only getting it for the controller and can't run the game, i'll take it off your hands for you. I know, i'm just such a nice guy

this and RE5 coming to PC just provide more reason for me not to buy a "next-gen" 360/ps3

the majority of games I'd be interested in end up coming to PC, where they play/look better.

Oh, you are just the WORST kind of person.

Is it possible for both of you to be right? That can't be possible...

my MAME cabinet (in process) will be able to run it ... awesome!

Lol, don't lie to me Joystiq. My lame, 6-year-old PC can't handle squat. My CPU's not bad at 2.4 GHz, but my 512mb of RAM isn't gunna do much. Not to mention my 35gb HDD does not have 10gb of free space on it... and don't even get me started on my graphics card... it doesn't even support pixel shader version 1.1 (which I recently found out after purchasing TF2 and being disappointed that I couldn't even run a game with such low requirements).

No, Joystiq was right. Anyone with a lame PC can run this. Yours isn't lame, its an artifact. Considering i can build a PC much more powerful than a Ps3 for less than the price of a Ps3 that will run Crysis on all High settings very smoothly, there isn't any excuse for not affording a gaming PC in this day and age.

"Oh hey I'm bragging about my PC being better than yours amicoolyet?"
Please. That's not only annoying, also it's not important to the topic and a big offense to poor people.

I hope Capcom at last takes good care of an important PC port. Most of Capcom's PC ports are rushed and require a beast computer.

Then using a computer fullstop is a big insult to the billions of people without computers. Just admit that you're jealous of the rigs some people have and move along.

Devil May Cry 4 ran great on medium-strength PCs and was a terrific "port" with extra modes not found on the console versions.

Good thing I won that 360 controller for windows from Club Live!

I like how a majority of comments on this story are just people stroking their e-peen.

also, question for joystiq; Where did this story come from? i tried looking for a source for verification, but couldnt' find one. Was it a press release?

So what? There's nothing wrong with bragging now and then. It's not that big of a deal.

Straight from Capcom.

I wonder if those min specs take into account you really need 60FPS constant in the game. I hope a PC demo comes out so I can see what it looks like (just curious, own it on 360). Also I wonder how minimum graphics settings will look.

To be expected, since the arcade machine SFIV used was basically a P4 3.4 with RAM and a Radeon X1600 or so.

Looking forward to it though!

Does anyone else think 10 GB of hard disk space is a lot for this game to require. I expect that kind of space from excessive RPG's with tons of maps and stuff.

Flight Simulator x Gold edition used 15gb of space.

the size mainly comes from the expanded textures. I think. Or maybe not. I just assumed so.

I thought that odd myself, maybe its all the textures and animations?

OMG, the jealously that spawns from these comments. Come on people, be civil, don't down-vote others cause your computer sucks and theirs doesn't. That is indeed troll-like behavior.

"Input Device: Xbox 360 controller for Windows"

SERIOUSLY? The Bill Controller sucks hard playing this game =(

What about the FightPad, FightStick, Tournament Stick, or Hori's Fighting Stick EX2? Those are all valid 360 controllers.

these very good controllers are not THE recommended ones by capcom =)

but yes, i recommend them to anyone that wants to play this game =D
and for me, well, I just stick to my keyboard for playing fighting games =)

Keyboard support? YES! =P When is this coming out?

Hm, this sounds good. :)

my intel GMA 950 can't run this game =(

32bit operating systems and applications mathematically cannot address more than 4GB of RAM.

I wonder if my computer will be able to run this.

Note: I am not measuring my e-peen. My laptop is 2 years old, and it's actually giving me some good experiences... and some bad ones.

OS: Windows Vista Home Premium
CPU: Dual Core AMD Turion 64x2 1.8 GHz
RAM: 4GB DDR2 5300
HDD: 640GB
Video: nVidia GeForce Go 7200 w/ 64 MB (but using another 1GB of my ram)

Sounds good, but I can't help but feel that 512mb of VRAM is starting to feel small already. And I just got a card with 512mb VRAM.
