ok thanks. and just wondering, if a part in this computer would bottleneck the others, which would it be? like which part is the weakest one that might slow others down? maybe the cpu?

the cpu would be the weakest but it wont hold anything back.

50$ mobo
holding a 300$ GPU

yeah that just hit me lol

downgraded the gpu and now it actually fits your budget

the 7870 is better than the 570

hmm... but isnt price somewhat irrelevant? like is it still possible for that motherboard to run well with that gpu at 300 bucks? or would it overheat the mobo or would the gpu not run well or whatever?



also, thanks alot for the help ;]. one more question, is the radeon 7870 still better than the gtx 570 and can the radeon 7870 run battlefield 3 on ultra with over 40 fps? THANKS!

it is better. theres a link in the post above

definently appreciate newkid's help, but wondering if any1 else has any suggestions or input? looking for more than one opinion to compare. thanks.

i'd toss in a hyper 212+, even if arnt going to OC
I'd also shop around for a case. Youtube videos and reviews, get a good grasp of whats on the market

and i'd try to find some way to save money to either boost the CPU or GPU, but nothing left to do. Pretty reasonable build

The 6300 would be worth the extra $15 versus the 4300, especially for B.F.3:

total is 670$ - 10$ mir + windows x64 + optical drive ( you can usually scavenge this from any computer if it uses a sata connection [ not a big connector] or you could buy windows from microsoft in a digital download and make a bootable flash drive) + monitor ( don't spend more then 130$ on it or you're going to blow up your budget)

/e give game code if you're not going to play it
