The Gtx 560 requires an upgrade of the power supply and those two add up and the PC becomes out of my price range. How would the PC I built run Arma 2 and Battlefield 3? like what setting and framerates

How would this build stack for Arma 2 and Battlefield 3 (for $1287 including shipping) Gamer Paladin F725 1 x Case ( Xion Echo Gaming Case - Blue ) 0 x Case Lighting ( None ) 0 x iBUYPOWER Labs - Noise Reduction ( None ) 0 x iBUYPOWER Labs - Internal Expansion ( None ) 1 x Processor ( Intel® Core™ i7 950 Processor (4x 3.06GHz/8MB L3 Cache) ) 0 x iBUYPOWER PowerDrive ( None ) 1 x Processor Cooling ( Liquid CPU Cooling System [sOCKET-1366] - [Free Upgrade] Standard 120mm Fan ) 1 x Memory ( 6 GB [2 GB X3] DDR3-1333 - ** FREE Upgrade to DDR3-1600 ** Corsair or Major Brand ) 1 x Video Card ( NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti - 1GB - Single Card ) 1 x Video Card Brand ( Major Brand Powered by ATI or NVIDIA ) 1 x Motherboard ( MSI X58A-GD45 ) 1 x Motherboard USB / SATA Interface ( Motherboard default USB / SATA Interface ) 1 x Power Supply ( 600 Watt -- Standard ) 1 x Primary Hard Drive ( 500 GB HARD DRIVE -- 16M Cache, 7200 RPM, 3.0Gb/s - Single Drive ) 1 x Data Hard Drive ( 500 GB HARD DRIVE -- 16M Cache, 7200 RPM, 3.0Gb/s - Single Drive ) 1 x Optical Drive ( 24X Dual Format/Double Layer DVD±R/±RW + CD-R/RW Drive - Black ) 0 x 2nd Optical Drive ( None ) 0 x Flash Media Reader / Writer ( None ) 0 x Meter Display ( None ) 0 x USB Expansion ( None ) 1 x Sound Card ( 3D Premium Surround Sound Onboard ) 1 x Network Card ( Onboard LAN Network (Gb or 10/100) ) 1 x Operating System ( Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium + Office Starter 2010 (Includes basic versions of Word and Excel) - 64-Bit ) 1 x Keyboard ( iBUYPOWER USB Keyboard - Black ) 1 x Mouse ( Logitech Internet Mouse ) 1 x Monitor ( 19" LCD 1440x900 ) 0 x 2nd Monitor ( None ) 0 x Speaker System ( None ) 0 x Headset ( None ) 0 x Video Camera ( None ) 0 x Case Engraving Service ( None ) 1 x Warranty ( Standard Warranty Service - Standard 3-Year Limited Warranty + Lifetime Technical Support ) 1 x Rush Service ( Rush Service Fee (not shipping fee) - No Rush Service, Estimate Ship Out in 5~10 Business Days )

are you referring to blinkers? because the last thing id think about in the heat of battle is my blinker....

its summer break and my parents made me come to our summer house where i have zero friends! so thats good! haha

Thats my plan! I have one built but not bought yet, I think it will do pretty good

You dont feel me haha. its like torture how badly i want this game

Anyone..?

Thanks for the kind words! Heres to hoping you love ME2 just as much as I did, the mass effect series is one of my favorite games and I think it has the one of the best stories of any game

I WANT THIS GAME SOOOO BAD!!!!!!!!! its been my favorite game for like a year and ive never even played it!!! my POS computer cant run it, i literally sit here and watch at least 5 arma 2 videos on youtube a day (united operations videos to be specific) its driving me crazy how badly I want this game. I just got an awesome job though and I get my first paycheck on the 17th so hopefully ill be buying a computer then! But man.... I want this game so freaking bad its unhealthy

Alright well Ill keep checking back with the prices and see if they change in the coming weeks, thank you for the advice!

Okay well I need to wait until i get a few paychecks under my belt anyway so Ill check back and see when it gets closer. Would that setup being able to run Arma 2 on high settings and run battlefield 3 ( i know the system reqs. havent been released for it yet, but I think we can estimate)

hmm it was 1211, with 125$ shipping. Anything I can do to save a few bucks? And just confirm will be able to run Arma 2 on the highest settings AND run battlefield 3? ( i know the system reqs. havent been released for it yet, but I think we can estimate)

eh the bigger monitor is a luxury i dont need right now haha how about this then? also what do you think is a good price for this build? just so I can compare it with the price its giving me

Okay so how does this first attempt at putting something together look (for arma 2 and battlefield 3)

Wow, I didnt know that haha, thats pretty intense! Alright well if anyone knows a site that can help me build a gaming computer step by step, that would be great and thanks in advance!
