So I posted a build about 2 days ago asking if the said build would be acceptable for gaming. I've updated some mentioned blemishes and now I want a confirmation on these parts:

I've replaced the CPU and the graphics card with newer ones. So all that comes out to about $510 (There is a special deal on Newegg for $25 off of $250 or more). I also have an older case, which can fit the mobo and GC. Is this a good enough build to run BF3 on high? Thanks in advance :)

This will not run BF3 on high @ 1080p 60FPS. The 7850 may be a better card for you, and you can get one for around 140 USD on Newegg. What case are you planning on getting? the extra case fans likely wont be necessary.

Thanks for the insight, I am going with the 7850. I have a case from my dads old "email build" that doesn't have any fans, but is very spacious and actually looks pretty good.
