You don't need to spend that much on an HDD.
The Caviar Blue or Black would be fine.

Everything else looks good to me. I would get the 7870 or 7950 instead for a GPU though. The former is on par with the 660 Ti at a much cheaper price while the latter outperforms it at the same price point.

ok,, thanks for that.

What settings would you say I could play games like battlefield 3 on if I added the 7870?

If BF3 performs similarly to Crysis 2, I can tell you from personal experience that you will get a consistent ~40FPS with everything Ultra, DX11 and high res pack @1080p, with the occasional dip to 30FPS when something big happens.

Agree with Excella, no need for a Raptor drive. Get a standard 7200RPM drive and an SSD. Massive capacity in the HDD for cheap, and speeds that will leave the Raptor in the dust from the SSD.

I have a 7870. It plays bf3 well at 1920x1080 on ultra with 2x aa. I get minimums in the mid 40s.
