How's my build? (BF3)

[ElusiveMime]

My goal is to run BF3 on the highest settings (1080p) at 40+ FPS. I was wondering if this build is best. My money limit is $1,000.

That build looks awesome, it's not going to have any problems with BF3. I wouldn't get a wireless keyboard and mouse for FPS gaming though, in my experience you can get tiny bits of delay and it's definitely enough to annoy you on that kind of game.

You are missing a PSU too, what PSU are you using?

XFX 650W, 80+.

If youre planning to SLI you are going to need 750W, if not you can get a cheaper motherboard.

excellent build but u wud want to change the HDD i heard it has problems ur call tho some ppl say its very good as for the mobo i dunno bout msi's mobo i wud get an asus myself but if msi is good then keep it a p67 is the mobo for this processor in my opinion i made some reserches on bf3 to conclude the sys reqs i wud say this build would run at atleast like 50 or a bit less fps thats if all expectations for bf3 r true dont count on what im saying tho nothing is revealed till now and u would wanna get some extra fans for ur case and maybe aftermarket cpu cooler
1 more thing bout bf3 the reason why most ppl r expecting 460 to be the minimal for bf3 is cos its the most selling card and in most of ppl's budget range

that hdd is the best for the money hands down. and i agree about the motherboard i would go with asrock gigabyte or asus.

if i had ur processor i would go for this mobo not a pro at this stuff tho
