Is this system good enough for battlefield 3 and 4 on 1080/720p medium preset?

[GoldenGamerUK]

after playing call of duty for 115 hours, most ragfilled wasted hours of my life I decided to move over to battlefield 3 that was (figuratively speaking) collecting dust in the corner of my desktop/games library, and I've been having a LOT of fun flying planes, running over people in jeeps and blowing people up with tanks, thing is I'm playing on lowest of the lowest settings, and the lowest resolution... so I decided to save up my money and get a better PC then what I already have...

to shorten this story, here is the list that I have chosen ---> http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/stgWK8


also, I've chosen 1866mhz ram, would I be better of with a 1600mhz kit???

IF 1600mhz is cheaper, get it.

The build is fine except the PSU. Change it for an XFX, Antec, Seasonic unit.

At 1080p this should run all modern games at medium or high settings comfortably.

but those power supplies are expensive... and yes 1600mhz is cheaper

The PSU is 100% the single most important part in a PC. A low quality unit can fail and fry the entire computer. Happens alot. DO NOT get a poor quality PSU.

Get 1600mhz if it is cheaper.

the corsair psu is not a low quality psu. compared really crappy ones like diablotek, coolmax, apex, raidmax, logisys, etc....its going to be just fine. seeing as how 62% of 600+ review on newegg are 5 stars, i think it's safe to say you'll be ok with it...

I would not recommend it. They sue VERY low quality capacitors that easily fail. I had a cx600 take out a computer of mine 1.5 years ago. User reviews are never accurate. If you go to newegg and read all the "follow up" for the cx units they are all about it failing.
