You didn't said anything about pairing videocards in this thread.

Check out that country where I live. Prices on tech here are pretty overpriced.

What is the problem with it? I'm helping man to decide which parts he need to buy. And also, I wanted to buy a laptop, not a computer. Because I can't take computer anywhere I want.

GTX 580? :3

Did you even read the thread? A gtx 580 would be the entire computer derp.

Flapoortjuuu a GTX 580 costs like $500-$650.

a GTX 580 costs 300-400 now Nvidia dropped the price of it because they released the GTX 680

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ 2.61 GHz

32-bit

Installed RAM: 4.00 GB (3.00 GB usable)

Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT

So, as you can see, it's very old.

I am thinking of buying a Quad core + ATI Radeon 6850.

Any suggestions?

I would say, get an I5 2500k, get either a GTX 680, and if you are low on budget go on a GTX 580 or a 6950, and try to get 8gb of ram

lol a i5 2500K + GTX 680 = almost 700€/$ + the PSU it will be above 700€

Low budget: AMD quad core CPU ( phenom II series ) + AMD 6900/7800+ series or nvidia 560 TI+ / GTX 680

I can't afford the highest cards like 6900 etc. I've found a Radeon 6850 for an affordable price

Good choice but if you are planning on playing on 1080P i'd recommend you to atleast get the 6870

Yeah I think I will, it's not much more than the 6850.

So this is what i'm getting guys:

CPU - AM3+ x4 FX-410 - $117

MOTHERBOARD - Asus M5A99X-Evo - $144

RAM - 8G Kit 1333 Patriot-S - $41

GRAPHICS CARD - 1G 6850 Powercolor - $143

Can't afford much more than this as it's a birthday present. I'm hoping this runs BF3 on at least med settings smoothly. I also play Cod4 and i'm sure this will run that smoothly aswell. Can't wait!

If you want performance in games DO NOT buy AMD, AMD is more for video editing ect.

I recommend you save up money for a good build.

OR just get a xbox 360 or ps3. Problem?

God please don't start a console war.. seriously..

Not starting a console war but people say since he doesn't have enough money for a pc that can run bf3. A console can run it but cheaper which will allow him to play the game he wants to.
