So my system is a custom build from about two years ago and it runs BF3 pretty well usually, but only on medium graphics settings. It also occasionally locks up and shuts down, but that could be due to bugs on the server/games end of things. I'd like to stay around or under $150 on the upgrades and get the most bang for my buck that I can, while obviously keeping an eye on parts compatibility.
Here's my current system:
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Motherboard: MSI NF750-G55
GPU: MSI N260GTX, 896mb, 448-bit DDR3 PCI-E 2.0x16
CPU: AMD Athlon II X3 435 Rana 2.9GHz 95W
RAM: Crucial (2x2GB) 240-pin DDR3 1066 SD RAM (PC3 8500)
HDD: WD 320GB 7200rpm SATA 3.0GB/s
Wireless: Edimax EW-7727In 32-bit PCI Adapter
Power Supply: Antec EarthWatts EA650
Case: Antec 900
**I normally get around 15ms ping, 8mbps download, 2mbps upload on my internet connection according to speedtest.net.
So what do you guys think the weakest link is, that I could upgrade and maybe run the game at higher graphics settings and/or run smoother? Thanks!
