Hello , I'm making my first gaming pc , I've already worked with PCs a bit before but this is the first time I'm building the hole PC.
This is what i'm thinking of getting :

Motherboard : Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 AM3

Processor : AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core 4GHz AM3 Processor , 16MB, 125W, Unlocked

Ram : Patriot Viper Xtreme 8GB Desktop Memory Module - DDR3, 1600MHz

Graphics card : MSI Radeon HD 7850 Video Card - 2GB GDRR5, overclocked

Hard drive: WD Black 1TB Desktop Hard Drive -7200RPM, 64MB Cache,

Dvd player :LG WH14NS40 14X Blu-Ray Burner

Case: Thermaltake Chaser A31 Mid Tower Computer Case - 700W PSU, 3 x 5.25" Drive Bays, 7 x 3.5" Drive Bays, 7 x Exp Slots, 2 x USB 3.0 Ports, 2 x 120mm Fan

I'm a really big batllefield player , I know this pc matches the system requierments, but has anybody got any idea of what I will be able to achieve with this setup (framerate and setings).

Looks good.

Except for that the PSU looks like it's built into the case.

I wouldn't recommend that. The PSU is too big too. 500W or so would do.

That GPU should play BF3 and at least High, if not ultra at over 30FPS.

I don't really see any weak points in the system. In the battlefield 3 campaign you would probably be getting around 30 FPS on ultra. In a multiplayer game you would definitely have to turn the settings down because FPS would probably be in the teens, if you play at 1920x1080. Just out of curiosity what brand of PSU are you getting?

I don't know exactly what your budget is, but I ran a 7850 for awhile and moved to a 7950, and the performance difference between the two has certainly been worth the extra cost for me. The 7950 will run most games on high to ultra settings with good frames (40+) at 1080p, especially when overclocked, and will be a bit more future-proof as well. Just throwing that out there.
