Gaming pc build help

[mkeonpc]

So i am going to be doing some hardcore gaming on this pc on games such as bf3, arma 2, crysis franchise. I just want to know if i can high/max settings these with a 1600x900 res. Looking to get about 40+ fps

Also idk if it would be fine to just save some money and go with a hd 7850 or reg 7870. Because it isnt going to be in full 1080p

I dont want to spend the money atm but when it deem it necesssry ill probally get one. What do you think about the build?

Phenom II X4 965 because it'll be gaming better than the FX you choosed and beside the Phenom II X4 965 can be "OverClocked"... Games for the next few years wont benefit anything more than 4 Cores and for the HAF 912 you'll need side fan for your GPU because it "can" overheat and I'd prefer you get the Antec GX700 for $59 and it's the most value case out there...

i would ya

The only FX CPU that would be worth the money is the FX-6300. Others are not really that great.

i5 CPUs are the best though but more expensive.

Just get the Fx 6300 and go with this video card http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/tahiti-le-7870-7930-benchmark,3401.html and also just illegally download the W7 via torrent... I been using W7 via torrent for a long time and nothing is wrong with it lol... and also dont bother getting a DVD/CD drive because you can install W7(if downloaded via torrent) from a USB thumb drive to your computer...

based on "gaming" FX isn't a big different at all when compared to Phenom x4($30 cheaper), it's like a i5 2500k to i5 3570k(people would actually get the 2500k if on strict budget)...
