hello once again, just relised that I forgot that this is an American site, and i'm in New Zealand! So I only have about $600US to spend, sorry about that, so would this build be okay for games like BF3, minecarft, steam games ect. Here are the specs:

ASRock B75 PRO3-M mother board
corsair builder 430w power supply
western digital caviar black 1TB hard drive
corsair vengeance 1600MHz 8GB RAM
Intel Core i3 3220 CPU
Sapphire Radeon HD7750 2GB graphics card

This was made through an automatic pc builder, although I have changed a few specs after reading reviews.

Im sure you could build your own for cheaper.
at least get the 7770GHz.
Battlefield is a quad core lover.

I did consider the 7770 but it was atleast $50 more than the 7750 here in NZ. And you aren't gaining alot more, it's a small jump.

In that case. I suggest holding out until you can put some more cash into your PC funds.
A little more money means better parts.
More time hopefully means better prices which would make even more use of some extra well earned cash for the PC budget.

You should consider a better power supply... 430W is too little.

Does anyone have a suggestion for upgrading the 'intel core i3 3220'. Possibly a quad-core?

the i5-3330p it has no integrated graphics so a video card is a necessity

What do you think about the FX-4300 or FX-6300, they alot cheaper than the i5, and seem to get better performance than the i3?

I was considering the GTX ti oc 2GB video card, and I was wondering if my setup would be good enough to do a slight over-clocking for the video card?

ASRock B75 PRO3-M mother board
corsair builder 500w power supply
western digital caviar black 1TB hard drive
corsair vengeance 1600MHz 8GB RAM
Intel Core i3 3220 CPU
GTX 650ti oc 2GB

that would be much better than the original build im also from new zealand and have the fx 6300 it does fine for gaming however i do have a 7950. the gtx 650ti would do pretty good for medium settings on almost anything except maybe crisis 3 try and get the 650 ti with boost if possible ik its quite a big price jump but has great performance you should check out a store called paradigm pcs to good range of parts cheap prices (mostly) and free shipping nation wide.
