P8Z68 V-PRO Motherboard
Core i5 2500k CPU
8GB 1600 MHz
GTX 580
1TB WD Black HDD
750w PSU

If your power supply can handle the demand, then I don't see why not. You posted a 750w, but what brand/model is it?

aya90 · Nov 16, 2011

corsair 750hx

and which mid tower case should i go for

EarthDog · Nov 16, 2011

Cases are up to you really...

PSU has plenty in the tank and good quality as well.

Nebulous · Nov 16, 2011

Good choice on the Corsair 750HX as E_D just mentioned. For a mid tower case I would suggest something with plenty of airflow.
The Coolermaster Sniper or the Coolermaster HAF 912 will do if you're on a tight budget.

What kind of CPU cooler are you getting?

killerkid · Nov 16, 2011

I would highly recommend getting a hyper 212+ cpu cooler so you can overclock that cpu nicely. You will be able to play at max settings yes

Is this already bought, or a planned build?

580 should max out BF3, I believe. I've heard that it plays better on AMD cards though.

I believe it's a planned build - he's still looking for a case.

New nvidia drivers will be out soon to increase bf3 performance

Daleon · Nov 16, 2011

You left out the one important detail, the resolution you play at. At 1024x768 it'll go so fast your head will axeplode!

Now if its 5760x1080 it would run it sure, but what does run it mean? 60+ fps sustained, nope.

killerkid · Nov 16, 2011

judging by his one star, hes not running that high of a res =P I would assume he means a normal monitor lol.

Daleon · Nov 16, 2011

Yeah I'm just playing. But if its 1366x768 vs 1080P there will be a difference in performance.

Stars have little bearing on what hardware people have.. Just like knowledge. There are people with no stars with better rigs than you and I. There are people with no stars that know more than you or I.

But absolutely... depends on the resolution he's running. :thup:

My set up runs BF3 at high settings and some on max settings.. and I average 60 fps, but sometimes drop to 45, but never below 40...

aya90 · Nov 17, 2011

does SSD really helps gaming ?

EarthDog · Nov 17, 2011

With level loads...yes. Outside of that, not really unless the game you play frequently fetches things from the HDD.

I have it. 580 does max it out. If you run too much AA/AF it jitters out at some points but technically, if AA/AF are at like the lowest setting yes it runs maxed on my system with HBAO on and low to no AA/AF.

This is 1920x1080 on my signature system btw. They've shown the 2500 and 2600 run the game the same. So no worries there.

aya90 · Nov 17, 2011

About overclocking,

I would like to slightly overclock my CPU to around 4GHz and a bit higher than normal stock rate on GTX 580

with a 850AX CORSAIR .. is that possible ?

Regarding the SSD , is it possible to get higher performance if i install the OS on a 1TB 7200rpm and while the games on the SSD ?

Daleon · Nov 17, 2011

The PSU won't really matter. The cooling will. You will be able to OC the 2500k plenty. The 580 GTX should OC some, but you probably won't need to.
