AMD Phenom II x 720 - Overclocked to 3.6GHz (from 2.4Ghz) running at 1.4v instead of 1.3v
2x Radeon HD4870 512mb in Crossfire (Asus EAH4870 Dark Knight)
500gb and 2TB Hdd
OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2
Dark Knight-S1283V CPU Cooler
CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W Power Supply
All these are in a raidmax smilodon case. The side window of the case got cracked, and I took it off and it seems like it runs better that way. Still, I'm not sure if it's sufficient to cool my setup. It seems like I've never had my graphics card run stable on graphics intense games.
When I play BF3, I was able to play smoothly for a bit, but then it always gets stuttery, even when I turn it down to Low.
I'm wondering how I can improve this, because I'd like to be able to play BF3. Is my power supply able to handle my components? I figured when I bought the PSU, if I bought a good quality PSU, 750W would be ample.
Currently using Catalyst 11.10 Preview.
Tried to play a bit and monitored using Afterburner.

Still Stuttering / feeling like dropped frames.
