Good to hear. I play at 1680x1050. I don't know anything about overclocking because I lost my interest in PC gaming ages ago due to my PS3 and PSP so I was happy with the performance of my computer. Battlefield 3 is the first game I'll buy after Dragon Age, which came out two years ago. 

Welcome back to PC Gaming! A lot of people find the spec stuff and OC'ing and tweaking settings and all that a hassle. I actually find it fun. I think I've spent more time modding, tweaking config files, and reading internet forums about Crysis 1 than actually playing the game. I've put in close to 80 hours on just making it look and run better .

I added more to the post above btw. I know Frostbite has undergone a fair share of changes between BC2 and BF3 but it's the best indication we can get at the moment on how well it runs. Perhaps you could do a google/youtube search for someone in the alpha with specs close to yours. Even better, let me do it!

Thanks :). I may try overclocking when BF4 comes out, but it is okay for now :).  It seems it performs nicely with BFBC 2, especially for a person who got used to 30 fps games :). By the which program are you using to capture FPS? I was using something like frups or fraps but iirc it was slowing the machine down so I deleted it.
