Is it possible to build a system running BF3 on highest setting with a budget of £450 just for the base?
No monitors etc needed.
My best mate wants to order parts tonight

Hats off mate. Didn't expect a reply as fast let alone a full run down.

Thanks to both of you. Will skyrim run fine on this also? With nice textures?

I've seen a youtube vid of Skyrim running on a AMD Llano setup rather well, so it shouldnt be an issue for the aboves systems.
