Building a PC that will play BF3 on max settings.

[Noni Juice]

Hi there,

While my computer is starting to really show its age I was wondering how much a PC (Just the tower) will be that will play BF3 on max settings.

Why just BF3 you may ask? Well I love the game and apart from my normal computer usage I play BF3 a lot on my PS3 (which is not "real" BF3 in my opinion).

So how much would it be? Thanks .

if you want bf 3 on full settings are you going to want bf 4 on full settings when it comes out in a few months ?

but id say your looking at minimum of £700-1k

(just looked you have access to mm, so second hand stuff might get the price down)

This should run BF3 well in my opinion.

Can add a after market cooler to OC it nicely and an SSD, if your budget allows.

I'm assuming your running at 1080p or less by the way.
