Default Help build PC.......again.

Yes everyone, another thread on helping someone build a PC. So I would like a little help picking out stuff to build a new gaming PC. I want to create a PC that will be able to run Battle Field 3 on all high settings. Now, I'm wondering, how much is the least amount of money I can spend to achieve this goal. If you guys want a cap on how much I'm willing to spend, I'd say $800 is probably the max. Note that I don't need a monitor, keyboard, or a mouse. So can anyone help me build something that's gonna last me? Battlefield 3 will probably be the last game I buy for a while since I'll still be playing CS 1.6 for many years to come. So, can anyone help?

It's probably good enough as-is, but feel free to go nuts.

=>GT520graph card could be improved though if you wanna play games.
Hard drive is Very good, plenty of space. (may be downgraded though, its alot)
Anti-Vibrations fan mount if you don't like noisy comps.

As far as processors go, i7's barely outperform i5's but cost way more. Plus the hyperthreading i7's have can work against you sometimes.

Well, for gaming, 2nd option was the best for sure. i7's for when you have enough money. Was just an option :3

What resolution do you play at? What brands do you prefer: AMD or Intel in processors, and NVIDIA or ATI?

Only this and you're ready to play. Seriously the comp itself is pretty good. Add this and you get to *800$, nice gaming experience.
Edit: Meant to quote Calcium, w/e...

Resolution really doesn't matter to me. I mean come on, I'm used to shitty graphics, I play CS 1.6 lol. But if I'm going to spend this amount of money, I want to be able to get the best bang for my buck. So if I'm going to play Battlefield 3, I want to play on the highest resolution possible, with all graphic settings on the highest.

@ Superfreak; Give me a budget and I can price out a cheap build for you.

Oh oops. Yeah I'll get on that then.

I'll post it tomorrow sometime as I'm about to go to sleep. If you're not comfortable building it yourself though, I'm worthless to you. Cyberpower is your best bet in that case. Just a note that it's extremely simple to build it yourself, and it's always the best option.

I can assemble it no problem. I'd rather put it together myself anyways instead of a company doing it for me.
