i assume you don't OC.
psu is crap.change to some thing better like-

or

drop down to i5 2400.2500 is expensive and hardly 5~10% faster.
try to invest in some thing like 6870.
it's not going to max out ultra settings in BF3 but will run fine on high(AA off).

U should get a better PSU and I5 2500k and a gen 3 Motherboard for future processor and video card.

I5 2500 and 2500k is only $20 away.Should got 2500k and overclock it ^^( u can find awsome guide on the net as 2500k is popular ^^)


I getting my I5 2500k, Asrock Ex 4 gen 3 and MSI 560ti twinfozer ^^

For heat sink:I get ZALMAN PERFORMA instead of a hyper212 evo.

G skill 2x4gb ram CL7.

NO SSD maybe in the future.

All bellow $1200 ^^(US)
