I'm really excited to be getting back into pc gaming (cannot wait for bf3!) Almost all my parts are outdated so I need to re-build my set-up. I dont want to spend to much money, but i want to be able to run battlefield smoothly(minimum lag) with great graphics. I already have the essentials (screen, mouse&keyboard, speakers cd drive harddrive power supply and computer case). Other then that I've got to upgrade everything. This is the setup I'm currently looking at buying:
Radeon graphics card 6870 ($159.99) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102948
Ram/memory 8gigs ($53) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145345
AMD Phenom II processor ($109.99) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103809
ASUS EVO AM3 ($103) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131647
total = $425.99
I found most of these parts from this helpful link: http://www.gamersnexus.net/pc-builds/46/602-september-budget-pc-2011
I was wondering what you guys thought about this setup, what are your thoughts on how BF3 will run and play on my computer? Any other deals or better offers on compoonents would be greatly appretiated. I also have 2 computers worth of outdated/old parts that I used back in the day (battlefield 2) and am not sure what to do with those parts, if theres anyone or company wanting to buy old parts please let me know!
