It's worth noting that they won't have optimized their code as much as they will have by release. It's possible that specs will come down a bit by the time of release.
That's pretty similar to what I'm running, I may bump up the RAM to 16GB depending on how it handles the DFM, and add a second GTX770 for the Alpha+Beta if the game supports it. I haven't OC'd my CPU yet, mainly because I'm a bit nervous that I'll cause my computer to catch fire or something.

Just tried the hanger module and frame rates on very high are not promising, 20-35
lga2011 p9x79-deluxe
i73820 @4.8GHz
quad channel 16GB dominator @1666Mhz
OCZ vertex 3 SSD
Saphirre HD7970 OC (1000/1450)
Not sure what the deal is, I've seen threads with much less beefy PC's reporting higher frames.....why me :_(
DFM is likely to bring it to it's knees.....which would be a first. Damn, how will I view my shiny, shiny Aurora now.

Keep in mind it will likely be quite unoptimized at its initial release -- they've mentioned its much more of a CPU hog than it's intended to be. Im not sure if they have or will be implementing the CPU optimizations before or after the DFMs initial release but theyve mentioned fixing that later down the road.

That is odd...
My rig:
AMD FX-6300 3.75Ghz
GTX 660 SLI
16 gb of RAM
and I'm pulling a consistant 40-50 fps with very high settings in the hangar module...
Thanks for the stats CompetentAlloy.
I think that FPS might be comparable. The 660 in SLI is quite a bit better than a single 7970 it would seem.
I've checked perfmon on my rig and it's not the CPU/RAM/SDD causing the problem. After sulking a bit I started running Unigine Valley benchmark and had some quite good scores compared to the online table of single 7970 users. This cheered me up. Your post has also cheered me up as although my card is under performing in certain areas, it would seem not as drastically as I first thought. I will continue to save for a 2nd card. I've been meaning to do this for a while as I want to play Metro Last Light on full settings. I am a gaming magpie and will be tracking shiny enemy ships...."don't leave that parked there...".
Well, while you do have a pretty sweet setup there (seriously jealous over here :P ), you should also keep in mind that SC will probably be running at high settings on next year's cards. I'm sure 2 - 7970's will get you close, but probably won't max everything out. Still will look great, but generally speaking, won't max out the graphics.
So not sure if its worthwhile paying for a card now or waiting til next year's are out and paying for the upgrade then. Then again, you could be in my boat in a year's time where the only way to upgrade cards is to start upgrading the PSU, then the mobo, then the CPU, etc...
Thanks JoeCool4433, it's my pride and joy (my car is falling apart because of this). I don't see myself being able to do a full upgrade, not even by next year. I think I will take your advice on the GFX card though, lets hope there are still PCI-E 3.0 versions next year....there's always tri-fire I suppose, who needs to eat!

No problem. SLI is awesome, but unfortunately some games don't make themselves very compatible with it.
Yeah prior to the release I plan to sell off one of my 660's and get a 780 or maybe whatever's coming out in the 800 series that's comparable.
