Am I on the right path...?

Just reading the GH threads and put together the following:

Problem is, and why I'm posting, is that I've been massively out of touch with PC hardware over the past 3-4 years (Mac, Xbox have satisfied most needs) but planning ahead for BF3 and would appreciate a once over.

I need to add and OS and potentially a new case, ooh and a screen. Blast.

Anyway, feedback appreciated.

Looks like something I posted earlier, so it must be good.

Ha, yes - i did keep flicking back and forth between your recommendations!

The OCZ SSDs haven't got the best track record at the minute, you might be better off with a Crucial M4 type, bit more expensive, but they're all-round better quality drives it seems

If you're not planning to SLI it might be worth getting the new MSI motherboard too, since it will support the PCIe 3 of Ivy Bridge if you plan on keeping your system a while, it will just be a drop in upgrade of the CPU.

Just a suggestion though.
