PC Spec for BF3?

Opps error on my part didn't notice that, it doesn't matter tho as its the same price :) yes you would need a aftermarket heatsink if you got the OEM version :(

When you look into overclocking down the line your need to look into a better heatsink mind but the stock one should do for 4.0 GHz as a overclock depending on your chip.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £179.99
1 x HIS HD 7850 IceQ X 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (H785QN2G2M) £155.99

Thanks mate - Stock levels on everything look really good to. I will go into store and buy everything over the counter on Saturday I think.

So it's safe to say that the above is the best value for money build? :)

Cheers
 
just one last word of warning..... if you do overclock the thing (LGA1155 is so easy btw) that RAM with its tall heatsinks may get in the way of a air cooler, but other then that I think so :) where is Stulid when you need him?

EDIT: The RAM will go up in price on saturday as its part of "today only deals" but just pick some low profile 1600MHz RAM on the day :) you never know they may have some on a deal ;)
