lmao at 1280x1080 res on ultra, just get an I5 2400+ 7850 and 4 gigs of ram. even at that resolution u are going overkill with the i5 and the 7850.

Thank you. As you can see from my profile, I'm still new to this and I'm still learning.

Think you're looking at around $600 to do that.

i3-3220
2x4GB G.Skill Ares 1600Mhz
ASRock H77 Pro4/MVP
HIS IceQ HD 7850 2GB
Samsung Spinpoint F4 320GB
Antec EA-380D 380W
Coolermaster Elite 430
ASUS DVD Burner

Comes up to roughly $590 on Newegg and shouldn't have any problems with BF3 on ultra.

Looks like a good build. I'll probably just get a bigger power suppy. Thanks for the help

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb, AsRock 990FX & 2x4GB Patriot DDR3 1600: $215

That build isn't even going to pull 200W, 380W is more than enough and that's a decent quality PSU.
