Also 4 gigs of rams isn't gonna cut it. Bf3 eats up memory, and you want to leave other windows open without having to tolerate choppy gameplay. Web browsers take up a lot of space and it's a pain in the ass to close all those windows. Apps like PS take up a lot of memory and closing a project I'm working on sucks. Get at least 8 gigs. That way you can keep a quite a few apps up without a hassle.
