Newegg Custom Completes
Well my goal is to run battlefield 3 on medium to high settings. fuck ultra, can't afford that. So no definite budget but can you guys post some either pre-built computers or a list of components that make it up? Preferably Desktop since I have a 24 inch HD monitor. 500 GB of Memory would be enough. Ram around 6 maybe 8 would be nice too. I'm not really an expert on CPU's or Video Cards / GPU's which is why I kind of need help. Anyways, any help is appreciated. Thanks, Phil.

About to look into that. I was looking at CyberpowerPC like you suggested and came across this build: Mega Special I
Now without ANY changes with the components which you're allowed to customize, how is the build? I didn't make it and apparently it's one of their BEST buys (I'm assuming) since it has about 1.8k reviews and almost all are 5 star testimonials. Whut do you think?
I saw this benchmark of how many FPS the processor/Memory could handle and I came across this:
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (normal) 82
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (high) 82
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (extra) 81
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty (medium) 75
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty (high) 68
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty (ultra) 65
FurMark Benchmark 52

That's pretty good considering it's $635.

Also came across this: Newegg.com - CyberpowerPC Gamer Ultra 2140 Desktop PC AMD FX-Series FX-6100(3.3GHz) 8GB DDR3 500GB HDD Capacity Nvidia Geforce GT 610 1GB Windows 8
How is this? I noticed it was windows 8 which is probably why it's cheaper. Windows 8 Is Not Good For Gamers
According to Valve, Windows 8 is a catastrophe for gaming.
If I got that, would there be a good way to get a version of windows 7 instead? doesn't matter if it's crack or official as long as it's cheap and functional (without many bugs)?
Good god, do not buy those prebuilts. They are horrible.

I play BF3 on ultra with my 7870. It is overclocked though.
You could go for a 2500k/3570k + Z77 mobo if you spend a bit more.
