Build for BF3

[bf3]

System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming


Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS , Power Supply Antec TPQ-850 850W, Video card: GTX 280(until i can buy the 590).


Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com but any other site thats cheaper and trusted is good too


Country of Origin: United States


Overclocking: Maybe depends on if i have good enough cooling for it.

Additional Comments: Id like to have it run bf3 in high quality if its possible, i know its not with this video card but this one is just a temp until later.


Anyways here's what i was thinking about getting please give any feedback if you don't agree with something i have so i can consider changing it.

Let me know if you see something wrong with this build, not overclocking until i can see what the temp runs at stock.

the p8z68 pro is not doing to well go with the asrock z68 extreme3 gen3 to save some money. the temps are very low compared to the previous i7's.
corsair vengeance 8gb 1600mhz low profile ram is high quality ram just like gskill and it will save you a few $
case: corsair carbide 500r- http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Carbide-Tower-Gaming-CC-9011012-WW/dp/B005E983JW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1315715171&sr=8-1 126$ new case will be coming in very soon
