Overall its a good build but...
*Why do you need 16GB of RAM? its simply waay to overkill for gaming and its NOT going to give any performance boost (unless you do HEAVY video editing or run a lot of stuff simultaneously)
*i3 on a 850$ budget??? i dont think so...
buy this:
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($189.99 @ Microcenter)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($114.98 @ NCIX US)
Memory: G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($43.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($59.98 @ NCIX US)
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670 2GB Video Card ($399.98 @ NCIX US)
Case: Thermaltake Commander MS/I Snow Edition (White/Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($34.71 @ Microcenter)
Power Supply: PC Power & Cooling 500W ATX12V Power Supply ($57.08 @ NCIX US)
Total: $900.71
sorry i went over budget but it was really necessary

He can just downgrade the GPU to a Radeon 7870 and be within budget.i know that but it will also downgrade his performance...
here is a little incentive for the OP to get those extra 50$

Best solution
Besides, at 1920x1200, the difference is only 15fps in BF3.

what do you mean by: "ONLY 15 fps???".... come on buddy you're one of the smartest guys in this forum, i think you should know what a 15fps difference looks like when you are under the 60fps line.
