Hi guys!

I wanted some advice on building a gaming pc! iv been on www.aria.co.uk but i dont know what to choose! iv got a budget of about 300 pounds. I have a Radeon 4890 HD 1GB graphics card but i need the rest such as

Motherboard
Processor
Harddrive (250GB is enough)
powersupply
Ram
Windows 7 64 bit

Ultimately i just want to be able to run Battlefield 3! I play online so i would like a good enough system.

This case will do. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139018&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
I think that you should be able to run it on medium/high settings, at 1080p.

The PSU won't be enough for your card though. Aside from that, not too bad.
