-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I already have my video card and CPU. Video card was a gift from friend for free so I didn't get to choose what I wanted and the processor I got from my cousin for $160 (He works at Intel). I'm not quite sure about the RAM, originally I went with 4GB but I just put 8GB to be safe. I don't really mind how the case looks like as long as it's cheap and it's good. For the motherboard I'm waiting for the P8P67's to come out but I don't know which to get? P8P67 or P867 Pro. Does anyone know the difference? Also I was hoping if you guys could tell me if all the parts fit together so I could order all the parts I don't have except the MOBO by tonight.

I'm looking to play Battlefield 3 on the highest settings I can at 1920x1080. Anyone know what settings I could probably take? High at the very least?
Thanks!

Alright thanks just ordered the parts. Damn right when I thought all I needed left was a MOBO.. now I have to save up $135 for my mobo and $250 for GPU. But my 460 will still be able to play games even without another one right now right?

No! You can do it with the 650W, but I would get a 750W to have some extra power for other addons later.
