I'd say you'd probably get a decent fps on bf3 and if you disable MSAA it will for sure be good. MW3 maxed no problem (you can basically run all cod games on intel hd integrated lol given it'd be lowest settings). ME3 you should also be able to get ultra with no lag but im not quite as sure on that one as I don't have it and have only played it on console. Ultra on Skyrim as well if you turn down AA and AF a little bit I think.

EDIT: Actually bf3 I think will just be meh/decent fps and MSAA will help a little but I'm not thinking you will have very solid framerate either way.

are you buying the 480? how much for, there will be better options for the price now, unless it is second hand.

 

[2fast4thetown_down]

I am geting it for 200 dollars

 

[13thmonkey]

can you not get an OC'd 570 or a 580 for that?

 

[2fast4thetown_down]

Are those better than the 480 in pure performance

 

[falco37]

570 is much better than the 480 for gaming. go with the 570 for better performance/price ratio

 

[2fast4thetown_down]

I cannot go over 200 dollars is there one under 200?

this should help you choose

 

[2fast4thetown_down]

I am going to do this

GTX 480 200 dollars

650 watt corsair 70 dollars

Corsair h60 50 dollars thanks for the help.

don't bother with the h60, get a cheaper air cooler, i've seen a freezer 13 do well on a 3570k, also shave a bit off the PSU, 500W would be ok.

save from the h60 and the corsair and get this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127682

not much in it, stock 480 to 570, but 570 will run cooler. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/309?vs=306
