What PC can you guys come up with that can play BF3 on high settings with decent AA at 1080p with a constant 60fps? Intel 2500k cpu minimum?

My mate wants to get into PC gaming but he has this idea that you need couple of grand to play BF3 on good settings. the price should also include the operating system. Also he wants Named brands, when it comes to the GPU ram and MOBO. I told him that your gonna look at a £800 price point and he said as long as i get long warrenty with the brandsand good performance i dont care about the price, as long its not over the top

GTX460 getting a bit on now dude. HD6850 is more future proof and around the same power and cheaper at around £100 new now.
