Will run most games on full with very minor lag but just a minor warning, Gigabyte mice have a tendency to break very quickly. DOn't let their amazing price tags deceive you. I would suggest going for a G400 for a great gaming mouse at cheap.

That's a good build. Not sure what FPS you'll get in BF3, but at that price (including OS and monitor) it could be hard to do better.

Are you overclocking? If not, you could get away with a smaller and probably better PSU, such as:

You could also save a few bucks by downgrading to the Pro4 instead of Extreme4 from ASRock. If you plan to overclock or SLI/Crossfire, stick with the Extreme4.

Money saved on those two things could go toward an SSD - if you can spare the extra $100 for a Samsung 830 or Vertex 4, you won't regret it.
