    My 2 cents. My rule of thumb...skimp on the easy upgradables (HD and RAM) and don't on the (harder upgradables like) platform (CPU, MB and Graphics). I consider Graphics upgradable, but it can be a performance bottleneck even if you have a great CPU and Board...so I trhink of it as platform (or foundational). Don't skimp too much, you have to live with the purchase you make...money saved up front could result in years of fustration... --- Older intel chips are cheaper now...I wouldn't go below i7-4x (If you were going with Windows 7)...But I recommend i5-7x or higher. This is a nice spot....Intel did great in 4x for Windows 7, went all busiess in 5x (trying to steal AMD server marketshare back), fought about direction in 6x, decided for performance again and embraced Windows 10 in 7x (ie, Literally a cleaned up version of 6x and first to be tuned for Windows 10). This is a nice spot, not the latest and not the oldest...and skips the intel performance vs workload "schizo" years. 16GB is a good target...but if you need to skimp, skimp here with 8GB...then upgrade to another 8 later... Graphics < Important...RAM RAM RAM...get as much graphics memory you can...1060 or 1070 should be good...get the one that has more RAM...My current 1080Ti blows away a 2070 super...because of the RAM in the 1080 (but the 1080 can't do ray tracing). Get it? It's not just about the higher model number. Older cards can out-perform newer cards, but may not be able to run newer games using newer graphics functions (if the gamer desginers were stupid and in the pockets of Nvidia to prevent you from turning off the new functions). My old 970 may have put a 1030 to shame...in pure performance with excellent 1080p graphics. Like RAM, skimp here and get one 1TB SSD now...then when you are ready (or need to), buy another 1TB SSD later...don't bother with spinners (unless you are using it for backup or file serving)...For gaming - SSD all the way, you will be glad you did... --- Before I upgraded, I had an i7-4x with a Nvidia 970...16GB RAM...Everything ran fine at the highest resolution...untill I started to heavily mod the games...On some WWII bomber intercepts...the game slowed down to a crawl...too many bombers, germans and angels...unplayable... This is my opinion from my experience...other people may have other experiences and recommendations...just saying...

    To all uploaders, I really appreciate your contributions, but would it be asking too much for you to add a little readme.txt with your packages? Even if it's just copy of what you wrote in the description of the download? Sometimes, I don't get to test the download for a couple of weeks or months and having to find your download to get the instructions is a real pain. With greatest appreciation for the work... =V=

SF2 Israel Hi-Res 1920x1080 Menu Screens and Music! v5 By Viper 05/17/2020 Note: I removed all the nation sounds from this Menu packs for size reasons. If you intend to install the "VIPER63A HQ Menu Sounds" pack, please install that pack first. Installing the HQ Sound pack over the Menu pack may overwrite some of the menu specific music files. You can always re-install this menu pack to get the menu specific theme music back. Special thanks to Homefies and Spectre8750 for their contributions that led me here... This mod includes custom "Israeli" themed menu screens, pilots and music. I used the MENU INI files to reuse the music files for different menus. This reduces the size of the package as I don't have duplicates of the same music files for different menus. You should unzip the file and preview the new screens before installing them. I recommend doing this as there are alternate screens I have in there that you might like better. If you choose to install these screens, I recommend that you back up your FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders in the SF2 Mod folder you're installing this mod into. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup. To install, simply unzip and copy the uncompressed FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder. My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win10 64-bit was..(yours may be different)... C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2 Israel\ Enjoy! Submitter viper63a Submitted 05/20/2020 Category Menus

    Russia.wav is a Russian Military March...Russia2.wav is the national anthem. You can switch them around if you like... There are 3 different Airmedal music, this is because I use a different AirMedal music in all 3 of my Medal screens...

    What new rig do you have? I've upgraded several times now with no issues - other than the nvidia issue where I can't use unlimted setting for one of the graphics settings...

    While I was going through the menus, I discovered that I never created that screen! So I will upgrade all my menu with that change. I love your last menu set by the way! I have it for my default SF2 install... :) v

    I've seen them up close, I think I've even flow on them a couple of times. We used to called them "F.R.E.D"...Freaking Ridicules Economic Disasters. No offense to the drivers, I know you love them, but thats what we called them. Having said that, I have to admit...it's an amazing piece of engineering. Someone once told me it's like a "bumblebee" - not supposed to able to fly, but it does...So everytime I saw one take off (from the inside or out), I would recite the little engine's voice in my head.. "I—think—I—can, I—think—I—can."...."I thought I could, I thought I could." Woohoo, time to take a nap... =V=
