I have built my own PC a few months back, and can run BF3 on Ultra settings with an average of 60fps ^^
I spent around 880 euros to my PC, and am very happy that I built it myself, because I can upgrade it and do whatever I like to it
.
- Case: CM 690 II Advanced
- CPU: intel i5 3750k @ 4.00GHz
- RAM: 2x 4GB Corsair vengeance @1600MHz
- CPU cooler: Scythe Mugen 3, although this doesn't fit properly with the high profiled RAM -> Fan has to be on the other side of the cooler, which is currently causing a lot of heat in my case right now (I am probably going to buy an other CPU cooler).
- PSU: Corsair CX 500 (500w)
- Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H
- GPU: MSI GTX 660 twin frozr 2GB
The HDD doesn't really matter I guess, I have a 1TB Seagate barracuda, running at 7200 rpm.
Like I said, I can run bf3 at 60fps on Ultra settings (1920 x 1080 BTW), so this is probably something you might want to look at.. And MSI doesn't do worse than Asus, so don't get carried away by the manufacturer of (in this case the graphics card) it's name
.
Hope this helped (if not then, well, good luck anyway!).
P.s; I see whiskers picked almost the same parts as I have ^^.
