Also, based on that^^ can someone please tell me what settings I can play Battlefield 3 on in a 64-player map with a 1920x1080 resolution? I’m not shooting for Ultra, more like medium or high but please guys, I’m new to this and I want to know if these items are compatible or not and how I’d play on Battlefield 3. Thanks!!!

Another thing, do you guys recommend anything? Such as different parts or anything? I will be doing homework, watching YouTube videos, researching, playing Battlefield, Minecraft, and maybe some open beta's if I can find any. Thank you !

Not horrible. The PSU is OK, MB is ho hum, HD is less than desired.... You also have an unlocked CPU on a MB that wouldn't allow overclocking. The system below is ready to be overclocked and will handle a second GPU if needed down the road.

MB - ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 - $122
CPU - i5-2500k - $230
CPU Cooler - Hyper 212 EVO - $35
GPU - XFX HD 6950 - $210 after MIR
MEM - Corsair XMS3 8GB DDR3-1600 CL9 - $50
HD - Seagate 1TB - $135
OPTICAL - 22x DVD Burner is free with the Seagate HD.
PSU - XFX PRO850W - $90 after MIR
CASE - COOLER MASTER HAF 912 - $50 after MIR
OS - Windows 7 Home Premium x64 - $100
MONITOR - Acer 24" - $180

$1202

A good idea...

FAN CONTROLLER - Scythe 4-channel - $20

Optional Second CPU Fan for the Hyper 212 Evo
CPU Cooler 2nd Fan (optional) - Cooler Master 120mm - $35
