I have an i7-920 for a year now and games are still not anywhere near maxing it out and I didn't even OC it yet.

That CPU is still very good, and it over clocks extremely well.

I have an i7 920 as well and 6Gb of 1800Mhz DDR3 and a decent motherboard. My graphics card is basically the oldest part in my computer.

i didnt upgrade for arma alone, since my old PC was already almost 4 years old, but im sorta disappointed with armas performance. With my HD 5770 i can run MW2 and BFBC2 in 1680 on pretty much high settings, but for arma i can only manage low settings, and i havent even tried multiplayer.

ARMA2 is heavily CPU & HDD bound, not only graphically taxing. So basically you need those computers that cost a billion dollars if you want to run it on all high

Don't compare Arma 2's performance to console games, they're intentionally limited in what they give you in order to work on lower end machines. If you had games with graphics on the same level of MW2 and BF2 but with the view distance and area size of Arma 2, most likely no personal computer today would've been able to handle it.
