I want a computer that can run bf3 on high and on Crysis 3 (it doesn't have too). Heres the build.

Intel® - Pentium® 3.0GHz Processor G860

Corsair Vengeance 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (CMZ4GX3M2A1600C9)

GIGABYTE GV-R785OC-1GD Radeon HD 7850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

Gigabyte LGA 1155 Intel B75 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX DDR3 1600 Motherboards GA-B75M-D3H

WD Blue 1 TB Desktop Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache - WD10EZEX

Lite-On Super AllWrite 24X SATA DVD+/-RW Dual Layer Drive - Bulk - IHAS124-04 (Black)

Corsair Builder Series CX 600 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS (CX600)

Fractal Design - Core 1000 Case

Ok there you go. Tell me if the parts aren't compatible with each other.

A little bit too much on PSU, downgrade to 500W and at least get an i3-3220?

Your parts are compatible.

Is this your full budget?

I would recomend that you go for Ivy Bridge i3 at least... it will smoke out Pentium G860 in games.

If money is tight at least go for the ivy bridge Pentium.

And save some by getting the HDD, I'm using this kind right now. http://www.microcenter.com/product/400847/1TB_7,200_RPM_SATA_60Gb-s_35_Internal_Hard_Drive_DT01ACA100_-_Bare_Drive

Good luck with your build

Go with this build. It's quite a bit better all around.

This is what I came up with while trying not to rely on mail in rebates. You can squeeze in a 7870 but I recommend stepping up to a 500w if you do that, and when I did that it came to around $570 after rebates with a corsair psu. The GPU includes the new bioshock and tomb raider games.
