guys sorry about the late reply.. i use a sony sdm hs75.. the max res possible is 1280x1024.. its a pretty.old monitor.. so can my monitor handle the build said in the first reply?

 

[ScrewySqrl]

1280x1024 is going to play it,m but you'll be at a bit of a disadvantage -- you'll have a narrow field of vision withjits 5:4 aspect ratio, compared to the 16:9 ratio of 1600x900 and 1900x1080 screens, or the 16:10 of 1680x1050.

for $400, you might be better with a Phenom II X4 build, which are End-Of-Life, but am3+ boards will take piledriver late this year/early next year

 

[Spicy_benie]

the first build will pull ultra for bf3 at that res i think. high for sure. but +1 to scrwy

[saurav123]

[saurav123]

and guys.. its okay.. i.can get the first build.too.. so help.me with this.. 1st build or 3rd build? which one can max bf3? sorry i dont know these stuff

 

[bigcyco1]

I would go with either build but get this video card instead http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102948#top and this power supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371045#top BF3 needs a powerful card to be maxed out

 

[Spicy_benie]

@bigco his res is super low :-D

 

[bigcyco1]

@bigco his res is super low :-D

oh o.k. well then go with the first build

 

[bigcyco1]

I don't know about biostar though are they good i heard they suck but i honestly don't know if that's true i never used their mobos before

 

[ScrewySqrl]

Biostar is a bargain brand. I'd rather AS Rock over them (the highest quality bargain brand)

I like Asrock to i consider them like a Generic Asus top notch just cheaper I think if OP could afford it this would be best let me know what you all think if not then go with either of the other builds but not mine because it has the weakest cpu

I would choose a more powerful PSU

 

[jerreddredd]

and guys.. its okay.. i.can get the first build.too.. so help.me with this.. 1st build or 3rd build? which one can max bf3? sorry i dont know these stuff

get screwysqrl's Build. you'll want a quad core if you are playing BF3 Multiplayer.

BTW the Antec 380 has plenty of power for that rig. if its in your budget I would always opt for bigger though like a Corsair CX500

[ScrewySqrl]
