Hi there,

I am trying to build a computer for playing BF3 when it comes out.

My budget is about £1000

I already have a 700watt OCZ gameseXteme power supply (is this going to be enough for the spec I'm looking at?)

And hard drives, I've already got a 160gb sata WD raptor, so don't feel I need a hard drive

So this is what I'm looking at



Is there anything i could/should change ?
And will it all work together ?

Thanks in advance
 
Ok, thanks for advice so far I've changed to the kingston ram and and the i5.

Is the 570 card you've put in the spec you posted any better than the card I've selected ?

And the same question with the motherboard ?

Have you done that just to save cost and get that SSD harddrive in ?

Also, I've kinda got my heart set on the 650D case

I've noticed that making the two changes to ram and to the processor, its got the price down to £837. which is a plus, however I would be using my Raptor harddrive
 
Right I've more or less decided on my Setup now...

I'm gonna go with this



The SSD will have to wait because on a cash flow problem, I'll have to pick one up next month

Also here are the specs for my power supply (just realized its a 850watt)

Will it power the new system ok ?

Hey again, Just a little update, The comments on SSD's and 580's played on my mind and i never ordered the computer above.

I went away and saved some cash ans now I'm looking at ordering this tomorrow, was just wanting to make sure it will all work together ?



Picked up a copy of windows ultimate already and already have the power supply as said above

Thanks in advance
