This is my first build. If you could give some honest advice it would be much appreciated. I want this pc to be able to run BF3 on High graphics and have good FPS. Will it do that? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/M1XP
How is my build ?

Do you have an interest in overclocking? It would determine what sort of advice I would give.
Beyond that, did you realize you picked out a "micro-ATX" motherboard for a normal sized case? Most cases will still fit the smaller motherboard, but usually you are giving up features, or at least room to work. Here's a full sized motherboard that I own: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130646&Tpk=z77a%20g43&IsVirtualParent=1 . Its a bit cheaper than the one you picked out, is full sized, and overclocks very well.
Also, you picked out 1333 RAM. For a modern system, you'll want 1600 RAM. I recommend the Corsair Vengeance brand. Won't cost you that much more. 2 x 4 gigs is the sweet spot.
Your hard drive is also an overly slow option. Western Digital's "Green" line of hard drives means "energy efficient," which while noble will mean longer load times. I recommend either Western Digital "Black" or a Seagate Barracuda with a 7200 RPM read speed.
Finally, with that monitor selection your GPU's performance will be wasted. Try to find one thats 1920x1080 resolution. Here's one for about the same price: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/benq-monitor-gw2450. Unless you already own it, of course.
Hope you find this advice helpful.
