Well if you have the blu ray drive that drops $17 off of it and only puts my build $10 over your budget.

This is a really nice build that will be worth the $25 extra.

Do you need a monitor, keyboard, mouse, or OS? $650 is really stretching it for playing BF3 on high.

Sorry didn't see the updates. I would recommend saving up further and getting quality items: case, psu, etc... In the long run it'll pay off.

If you need an Operating System and monitor, than it is going to be very tight. Like, just buy a Dell and add your own (low-end) GPU tight.

Still, Tom's hardware just did a $600 build designed to get as much gaming performance as possible for that budget. It is a great place to start looking: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/pc-gaming-overclock-build-a-pc,3443.html .

Unfortunately, this build does not include an OS or a monitor.
