at ur resolution i think ur fine.... wait for other suggestions too tho...

the 7850 won't put a hurting on that i3 in BF3 while playing multiplayer maps; the game will. as far as the rest i am curious what the answers will be also.

Exactly. While the game may play better with a quad core, that cpu will not hold back the graphics card at all.

thanks guys, I'm not playing multiplayer or online games with battlefield3 or any other games, just campaign or single player. so the battlefield3 is the really taxing game in all right? by the way i think im going with the oc version of the sapphire hd 7850..

if its single player stuff, no. BF3 is the only game that comes to mind that will hurt the i3 somewhat.


Also, save your money and dont by the OC version. just manually overclock it yourself. the 60 mhz speed difference isnt really worth the extra money you are throwing at it.

so okay, i'm good with my i3 right? even for upcoming games?
and how to overclock it? I'm kinda a noob for this? will it void my warranty for that?

on some motherboard you can adjust the Blck a few percent but that is far from a real overclocking. as i have a board that has "gpu boost" feature and all that really does is raise the Blck from 100 to 103; gives my i3 default of 3.3 to 3.39; i feel the power.
AFAIK, the only way to void the warranty is to get 1.6 volt RAM since the memory controller on a sandy/ivy bridge cpu is spec'd for 1.5 volts.

thanks for that, I'm talking about how to overclock my gpu? so i don't have to buy a oc edition of it..

:lol:
sorry. lots of folks like MSI afterburner. read a few guides before doing it so you understand the basics.

essentially, use any of the different vendors overclocking tools, and if you want just the basic overclock memory, just adjust the slider to be exactly like the factory OC version if your worried about gpu longlivety.
