Zaggy, This is from NCIX, How would this run?

[Zageron]

I would suggest going for EVGA Card and Board. (Personal preference)
Upgrade the PSU to a Corsair 850AX.
Processor is good.
Would seriously suggest the WD Black 1TB and the 2 or 3TB WD Green.
Drop the OS.

^No. Gold rated.

EDIT: Also, I agree with Zag on both counts. The EVGA SC 670's are sexy; I have the 2GB model myself.

[25thhour]

Sooo, toss up b/w gold and Corsair 850AX

EDIT:
850AX is 230 bucks.

I dont see any golds, theres a few platinums?

[Zageron]

It is gold:

Get an EVGA, they're one of the best cards. They run a little hot, but it'll be fine.


Seriously get some more hd space.

[25thhour]

Okay, so dropped the OS

Changed the PSU to Corsair Professional Series Gold AX850 CMPSU-850AX 850W ATX Fully Modular 80PLUS Gold Power Supply

And changed to 1TB Black HD

(How is my Video Card? Is it a decent one?)

EDIT: The only EVGA they have is EVGA GeForce 8400GS 589MHZ 1GB 600MHZ DDR3 PCI-E VGA DVI HDMI Video Card
(01G-P3-1302-LR) (sku: 56470)

Should I just get a few of those?

You were spot on earlier with the EVGA 670. Stick with that. If you wanted to spend a little less, the 660 Ti performs well too.

Those are the only EVGA? I found these: http://ncix.com/products/?sku=71248&...A&promoid=1067

[Zageron]

I have no idea where you are looking.

Easily. Also, I can't find that liquid cooling on Newegg to check out reviews. This is the one that I have in my PC and it functions great: http://ncix.com/products/?sku=59537&promoid=1305

I'm sure the 670 can max out BF3...

Don't buy anything yet though. Save this, and do research on all of the parts. Read reviews, check for any compatability issues, etc...

Additionally, when you have finalized your parts check each part on pricebat for a better price, and then pricematch it to your purchase.
