Personally I'd go for a 1TB HD rather than 500GB. I've got 1.4TB of space taken up on my Solid State, SATA & External drives at the moment :S

I'll think about it. Not I will be using this for practically gaming only, I have a laptop for browsing or rendering.

You're not going to be able to get high on bf3 with an i3 processor, I'd go with an i5 2500k.

Here are my specs:

It was about $950, but I already had a monitor, mouse, and keyboard

I can run bf3 on high/ultra

Good sir! I might might as well pay for an i5 2500k! Thanks.
