Hi I am looking at upgrading my system to be able to play Battlefield 3 at reasonable settings, it doesn't need to me Ultra just medium and smooth would be fine. I want to do it as cheap as possible as i mainly use my mac for everything, this will be just for Battlefield.

My current system:

Intel Duo E6600 overclocked to 3ghz
4GB DDR2 Geil 800mhz
Asus P5N32-E-SLI
Antec 900 Case
Antec TruePower Quattro 850W PSU
BFG 880GTS 512MB
500GB eSata 5400rpm

Any help would be great!

Sorry forgot to mention already overclocked at 3ghz I did have it at 3.4ghz but temps were way to high.

budget is max £400 would like less then £300 if thats possible.

Just another thing I thought to mention I have played the Beta at lowest everything in the way of settings and I have massive lag, just incase you look at the BF3 min settings and see i should be able to play it.
