Is this a good gaming computer?

As in would I be able to play a game like BF3 on high/max settings? Thanks

It's about 960 including tax/shipping and I can't really go any higher than that, but any recommendations on maybe switching out parts to keep me in my price range would be appreciated

unless your not gonna overclock to insane levels, you dont need the water cooling. they can be a pain in the ass and need constant attention.

Hello brandenfordjob,

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/battlefield-3-graphics-performance,3063-7.html

the 570 can play at ultra at your resolution close to 50fps.

Just use a CM Hyper 212+ to cool your CPU and use the money saved to invest into a better graphics card with more VRAM like a gtx 660ti or 7950...

stick with a 212+/EVO as long as yoir case can fit it, if not grab a gensis sII524 or a closed loop all in one

the 570 performs between the 7850 and 7870
