Hello,
I am making a new gaming PC for myself. I was wondering if I can get opinions/advice/suggestions on my build. Right now I got some parts picked out that I think would be quite nice. I have a decent amount of experience putting computers together, however not too much experience in choosing the best parts or deals. What I want out of this computer is to be able to play BF3 maxed out and have a system that would be ready for upcoming games such as BF4 and Crysis 3. I appreciate all the help. Thank you.

Additional Comments: I already have a mouse, keyboard, and speaker set. As far as how it looks, I am not too worried about that. However, I would like something that is somewhat quiet.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Well... my computer right now has a Pentium 4 and 8600 gts So... yeah, I need a new desktop pretty badly. I have a decent gaming laptop, but I don't see it lasting me much longer. I want to start with a nice fresh new powerful build.
