Aparently it's really good

Anyways to answer your question, YESH! It will run BF3 perfectly, so long as BF3 is NOTHING like Brink.

and it's super clocked

I remember suggesting the B grade 460 to you. I have that exact GPU in my HTPC. It comes clocked at 763mhz, using MSI afterburner you will get it to 850mhz easy.....mine is running @900mhz on the stock cooler.

Anyone who says it won't run BF3 well is talking absolute rubbish. I have it running on high-ultra (my own custom settings) on a 40inch 1080P 3DTV. FPS never drop below 30. The xbox and PS3 dont get more than 30FPS ;)

If you want to buy in "instalments". Get the PSU and case, then look at a mobo bundle (CPU,RAM,mobo). You then have enough kit to get started on the build.....add HDD, optical and finally GPU (as you can run the rig off the IGP initially).

I would suggest that you look to spend £100ish on a SLI capable mobo (Z77). You would be able to add a second 460 much later once they are going cheap or second hand even. At £80 for the B grade, two 460s in SLI would beat a 6950 which is around the same price (£160).

But then hes is going to need a 600Watt + PSU.
