The problem is that a dont know enything about hove to put together the hardware, or wats needed to get a god computor, so am more or less forced to buy a packedge deal.
Can't you "pick-and-buy" in Sweden? Call a web-shop/ dealer, tell'em what you want and they put together the bits and bytes. You can for sure do that in most major web-shops in Norway (might be cheaper for you too to use one of them).
hum.. a starting to give up here, cant understand whats work wite what. Hopping on some advice here.

Alot of different ASUS and some GIGABYTE MK is avaibel
The thing is that a want a computer that makes Arma2 run god, and giving a god visual appearance.
BTW 1:- skr = 7:- $ (so now you donât nead to ask about that)
Please help me
I can reccomend you to be sure to get a SSD (Solid State Hard Drive- a very fast hard drive) and lots of RAM (6 GB at least, 8 is even better) if Arma 2 is what you are after.
For more details about Arma 2 being bottlenecked by the hard drive speed and the ways to counter it:
http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=88388
As for the rest, if you don't have a relative or friend that can help you, just go to a good PC retailer, tell them what is your budget and have them offer you 2 or 3 options. Put the options here and then we could reccomend the best one for you.
so if a ask fore the Optimal Requirements of ARMA2 and they could supplie stuff fore it is should be basicly god? High grafic, nice flow ingame? Or do a need to go much higher then the optimal requirment fore this?
noted Ram 6GB insted of 2GB(optimal)
any difference betwen Vista, XP, W7?

a have some konfig options on this pack, but whould it be a god starting block?
Headset,Mouse and Keyboard is inclueded in the packidge and a get no discount if i remove them so)
Looks like a cool setup with expansion possibilities (e.g. upgrade to i7 CPU when they got cheaper).
I have just two comments, consider a Samsung disk instead of WD if possible, I have bad experience with WD in the past. Maybe a 80 GB SSD (for OS W7 and AA2 and a couple of other progs) and 500GB+ Samsung disk for the rest?
And why not consider watercooling instead of all those fans? This box will let you know where it is in a years time
well i get a

Samsung SpinPoint F3 500GB 7200RPM, SATA 3.0 Gbps, 3,5", 16MB [info] +475.00
in the SDD department its Corsairs, Kingston or Transcend that is optional the running betwen 1250-5495skr
+ installing 39-219skr
and fore water coling, well they only have chassis fore Fans avaibel(guess watercoling is more quite?)
For SSD I think the only one worthy buying is
Intel X25-M 80 GB SSD Gen 2 due to Intel's controller (according to tests).
Quote:and fore water coling, well they only have chassis fore Fans avaibel(guess watercoling is more quite?)
That's true, compared to the chassis/ fan setup you got it's soundless. I would rather spend extra money on a
watercooling system than on an i7 CPU ftm, which it's overpriced. You always got the option to change CPU later.
Quote:Samsung SpinPoint F3 500GB 7200RPM, SATA 3.0 Gbps, 3,5", 16MB [info] -320.60Â or
That's the one to go for, in a dual setup with the Intel SSD. If you need more HD space (you lazy bastard) buy an external USB drive when the loss of space demands it
I have found a further 3 options that all is cheaper then the first one. But none of them have any configuration options(at least not on the homepage)

Any of these a god option? Or is the first one better?
Im guessing that a could get a SSD installed later one?
ahhh this computor was super havey, way do a live on the 3rd floor
But now its here atleast, just setting it up.
So thanks to those that gave me a helping hand over what to pick ;D
I hope it was worth the effort to carry it up all those stairs ;D
What setup did you go for then?
