Can i run a bf3 at highest graphic settings with these specs?

[rhjr01]

Hello,
Hi, I am planning to buy a processor that can run bf3 with its highest graphic settings. I have an XFX HD 7750 core edition graphics card already and I have an 8gb 1600 DDR3 ram waiting. I am planning to buy an i3-3220 3.3ghz intel core. Any comments? Thank you.

No, what resolution are you running at?
My 7970 barley keeps up with the 60FPS of my monitor on ultra and 1080p.

Not at 1080p.

Probably barely at 1280x1024

no, the 7750 is not good enough for 1080p, certainly not at high detail levels, maybe low detail. Any of the i3's would not bottleneck that video card, the video card would bottleneck the i3. If your building a gaming PC it would be wiser to spend more on the video card, and save some money in other areas. like get the cheaper i3 2100, or amd fx 4300. If you are planning on playing 1080p then the lowest i would recommend would be a 7850.

Well i have a monitor with 1920 x 1080, so can I run it with that resolution or do I have to buy an i5-2320 instead? i have a tight budget and I can only afford the cheapest i5 processor. any recommendations? thanks

You need a faster graphics card not CPU.

Okay, so I will just have to buy an i3 processor then get a better video card. Thank you for the answers.
