Isn't AMD's new chip coming out around the time BF3 is released? Will be interesting to see how that performs, given its essentially a new chip design.

you're going to be really fucking disappointed when you spend all that money on an average FPS game.

no game is worth that much money / hardware.

buy an adequate rig that will run it on max and take the wife on kids on holiday, ffs

if you had any sort of reading comprehension then you would have noticed from the first sentence that he already has that computer.

there's a few games coming out around the same time as BF3, including the new Warhammer (graphics look amazing) and Arkham City. So you wouldn't necessarily be building/spec'ing a new computer only for BF3 (unless that's all you want to play).

For the price of the 980 I would have just got a reg i7 and 6990 w/ 6970 combo or 2 580s. Would perform way better than a 980 and 570 combo.

Even two converted 6950's would do the job much better.

980x is a waste as the additional 2 cores dont scale well for games.

570 might not have enough vram depending on your resolution

The moniter i use is pretty small,' moniter running 1280 by 1024 as its native. Im keeping the 980 because it'll have other uses other than gaming (running a server)

Get a U2410 or HP ZR24w, or the new model if they come out with one by then, as long as it's 1920 x 1200. Always be IPS-ing tbh. At least

Nah tbf, using a 980x and a 570 through a 1280x1024 monitor seems ridiculous overkill
