It will depend on your monitor resolution, but a 560 (non-ti) should run BF3 on medium@ 1080p without a problem. Higher might be problematic


My Asus HD 6670 GDDR5 overclocked can run Battlefield 3 on High with no MSAA or FXAA, and I turned motion blur off for good reasons. 1080p is my monitor. With it like that, I can run it smoothly. So a GTX 560 2GB model would be able to run everything High, but this is in theory after all. But if my GPU can run smoothly on Battlefield 3 with everything going on 64 player maps, that card would be able to do it. Are you building it from scratch as well?

I was going to buy a pre build computer but now im building from scratch

looks good, except for the following:

- your PSU is way too much if you're only going to use 1 GPU (You'd need 600W at most)
- verify that your RAM kit is certified for your motherboard (not saying it's not going to work, but might save you some hassle later on)
