yes it will max, but at what fps? lol, probably dipping below 30's occasionally.

good build, would definitely look at some mobo + processor combo deals.

I have a similiar build, but with a 4 core and bf runs really well. May have to turn AA down and or shadows to high, but it still looks spectacular. If your looking for 40+fps then ur good, if your needin the 60, no.
 
on a single card setup you wont be able to max BF3.
the 590 and 6990 can max it out but there dual gpu cards and way out of your budget...
the 560 ti is a great card. but if you want to play on ultra settings you will need 2 of them.
the good news is. that there isnt a great deal of difference between high and ultra. as for the rest. forget about lightscribe dvd burners especialy Lite-On. there crap... it will break within 6 months get something from the likes of nec or pioneer.
also you may be able to get a samsung spinpoint for the same price as your WD... the spinpoint is faster and its likely you can get a 1tb model as opposed to the 500gig WD drive, for the same money.
