About the best you are going to do. Will get good FPS on medium-high settings with little anti-aliasing.

Wow thats an amazing build for such a small budget

The Radeon 7770 graphics card is MUCH more powerful than the integrated graphics and will game much better than a console

If the Corsair CX 430 power supply is still discounted its only $24 on Newegg and its a better unit than the Basiq .
That would give a little more to spend on the case, or to add a DVD drive

 

[junior15]

Can i be able to use Used PC parts As a last
option

 

[cball1311]

What is the reason to only use TigerDirect?

[junior15]

well i wont be able to buy alot online so thats my only choice

 

[cball1311]

I don't think a sub $500 build is going to be possible with TigerDirect. What parts do you have as spare?

 

[songorocosongo]

what's your monitor resolution?

 

[junior15]

i have a hardrive , heatsink, cooling fan, power supply

 

[iceclock]

what powersupply hardrive and heatsink+fan u have?

 

[junior15]

their all from an hp computer from 2005

 

[iceclock]

so basically u need new pc for 500?

all from amazon. do u need windows?

 

[junior15]

yea either windows 7 or vista

 

[junior15]

but i have a laptop which meets the minimum requirements for bf3 but all i get is the failed to create d3d on intel mobile express family chipset

 

[iceclock]

sounds like a horrible idea to run on an integrated gpu.

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7486629&CatId=7718

360$


graphic-card:70$

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7371347&CatId=7005

so 430$

and windows 89=520$ total.

 

[junior15]

thanks

Go ahead and reuse your Hard Drive for now. All items are in amazon. I was about to suggest a HD 7850 1GB edition, but that will result in $530. This build here should able to play BF3 on medium settings at least...

 

[cball1311]

well i wont be able to buy alot online so thats my only choice

Where will you go to buy components then? I don't quite understand. It was TigerDirect, now Amazon. Are you going to a local retailer? That HDD might not be SATA, I would check on that too.

 

[junior15]

yea i am

 

[iceclock]

so ur buying from a tigerdirect warehouse?

 

[iceclock]

no problemo
