Will this be good enough?

In BF3 you should be able to have MSAA and most settings at ultra to get 40+ fps with that, probably more.

7870 Boost is a Tahiti LE card, so its approaching 7950 territory.

I get 45 - 65FPS on BF3 with my GTX660 OC, so he should better that by a notable margin

Trust me, I used consoles from the age of 5 to the age of 13. Once you play an FPS with a mouse and keyboard, you will never want to go back!

After 20 years of hard video gaming with keyboard and mouse you will buy a controller like me because your back is broke and you need to sit back relaxed in a chair instead of hunched over a keyboard

Quick question I've got that other CPU cooler , does anyone no if it comes with the thermo paste ?

yes but you can get better paste

 

[horrorxpunk]

Get Arctic MX-4 or Prolimatech PK-3.

MX-4 is easier to apply pk-3 is a bit thicker.
