Good Enough Battlefield 3?

[Talha1111]

So I have an Intel i3 530@2.9ghz and an Nvidia GeForce GT220 and 8 gigs of ram. So will I be able to play Battlefield 3 with decent settings? And I have a 1080p 23 in. monitor.

nope.

You'll need a capable GPU, not some low end HTPC one like the GT220.

I would recommend at least a GTX560 or a HD6870 alongside a PSU upgrade since i can already determine your psu won't support much upgrades due to the gt220.

Theres plenty ranging from the budget ones aorund $50 to the high end ones around $80 to ones that support sli / cf $130+.

The one that is on sale and I really like is the
Seasonic S12II 520

It's $60 right now (down from usual $85) and is the PSU that Antec and Corsair based (or used to) their PSU's off of.
