[RJC]

Does the case include fans?

One intake 140mm & one extract 120mm.

 

[Dafydd Beck]

hmmmm...pricey but no the best specs:L i've seen other builds cheaper with a gtx 670

 

[Martini1991]

It fits the bill perfectly though, it'll be nice and fast, and be able to play BF3 perfectly fine.
Then throw in a 7950 in the future and you're laughing.

You can build one for 500 that can run BF3 on ultra at 50+ fps.

8 gig ram.
i5 3570k
msi 7850
z77 mobo

Build it and post it up then

I5 + 7850 at least will be £320

then mobo around £80

leaving £100 for

PSU
Case
HDD
cooling heatsink
optical drive
ram

unlesss your going to skimp out on the parts above then its not worth it. best of spending that little extra, getting all good quality parts and giving the pc some good future proofing. and OP has already hinted he would like a 670

Wouldnt it be better to get Gigabyte windforce 3x ? These coolings are much better than refrent cooling.
