Hey guys i need some help choosing parts as its my first time.
I want to try to build a PC that runs BF3 at 1080p on medium for under £600
this price does not include OS or any peripherals but recommendations are welcome
Any help Appreciated

As I recently posted (http://forums.aria.co.uk/showthread....ly-New-To-This), I would say something along the lines of this https://www.aria.co.uk/WishList/xGFxrCkYb4J9dLIgnpukaA. Without the OS and SSD it comes to £638.12 (with SuperSpecials), so with a cheaper case and maybe reduce the i5 to a 2500k and/or a cheaper motherboard, that should come under £600.

The HDD (Spinpoint F3) should serve well as a boot drive, I had one for over a year and it is a sound drive. Ideally you would want a SSD boot drive, but under £600 you would have to cut costs elsewhere which wouldn't be ideal for your BF3 performance.

The setup is very similar to my brothers PC and he has no trouble running BF3 on medium/high settings

Hope that helps!
