Well i've got my new comp all up and running. Bought BF3 and whacked all settings to ultra. Its amazing stuff really and as i'm getting used to the maps and guns etc its getting even better. Ranking up quickly as you do when you first start but the graphics are fantastic and the gameplay on those old Sharqui and Karkand maps is as intense as ever.
Anyone else play on the pc then 'dodg3rman' is my nick , add me as friend and we can do some co-op or squad up for some easy kills.

BF3 on PC is exceptional fun, got more interested in RUSH mode recently as the teamwork is essential.
Conquest on things like the Metro is too much DM with bottlenecks causing mayhem for ages.

If anyone fancies a game of FIFA 13 or TW 13 anytime, or Far Cry 3 (if you can play co-op? Not opened it yet, had it a week!!) add me on PS3

sounds good, but why i5 and not i7?
was it a CS job or bought retail? (I'm about to do the same hopefully)

Corsair carbide 400 R , its got a couple of white light fans on the front and a nice blue one that comes with the PSU. It looks great in the dark. I was amazed at how quiet it runs , you literally wouldnt know it was on when just browsing the web. when I get into the games it still only sparks up the fan occasionally and even then its so quiet you cant hear it with your headphones on. It boots up from push of button to windows 7 ready in about 20 seconds where it used to take so long on my old xp comp that I could go get a cup of tea and still be waiting

Hi DV , I went i5 cos I didnt need the hyperthreading that the i7 brings. i5 is still quad core and all been OC'd to 4.4 so that is more than enough to manage my gaminig/processing needs. I bought it from Overclockers and got them to custom a few things to my needs like the SSD/HDD combo , GPU , case etc
My wife said it was money no object but I didnt see the point going overboard and getting sli/crossfire with Intel 690's. I toned down the build to suit my gaming needs and then threw that lovely monitor in which was £230 but worth every penny. No point gaming the latest titles and using an old crt set-up.

SSDs are pretty amazing! My boot comes in a little slower at around 30-40 but I have an older i7 920. That is going to last me a long time though, I don't see me replacing this basic rig for a while and Ive had it 4 years now (feb 09).
I am on my second PSU and my 3rd graphics card however

I agree, I would only by i5s now, I am glad I got the i7 920 tho, the i5s back then got slated!
I can see another 3 years at least from my current rig with another graphics card purchase

request sent JD. My origin ID is.... G1BB0 so feel free to add me anyone, maybe get a few on and squad up and kick some backsides 
I guess I am gonna have to get the newest expansion asap
your pc is a killer, I am still on a q6600 quad with a ati4890 oc edition. It runs bf3 pretty well on my 24" dell @ 1080res.
luckily my psu is 800w & case is mahoosive so cpu/mobo/ram/gpu and ssd should see me right for another few years

actually, before I purchase, what expansions are you all using? Armoured Kill, CQ & aftermath? I have the BF3 digital deluxe with back to karkand so if you guys are using all extra's I may aswell buy the premium expansion
