Fed up with the rubbish performance in war with my current machine especially since 1.2 so ive plumped for a new machine . Found this from mesh which on paper looks quite good (I think) however i welcome opinions on this spec machine for a cool £800 (may go for the sli mode mobo for an extra £60 but unsure)

Greatness is difficult to appreciate from close up. The great mountain on the horizon is only the ground when you are standing on it.

A couple of things I find help most people:
1) If you had a beta / early access client, uninstall it, install the retail client (from the dvd, or download the free trial one).
2) Make sure directx is up to date.
3) Turn graphics to high, turn off shadows, AA. Turning graphics to low actually performs worse.
