My friend has asked me to build him a PC that would be able to run Battlefield 3 in mid-high settings.
His budget is 1000 pounds or 1650 dollars.
CPU : I was thinking, either a sandy bridge i7-2600k (or better for almost the same price if possible) or wait for the bulldozer and see how much that one costs.
GPU : I can't decide here, I would like to avoid crossfire as it burns extremely hot without watercooling.
Motherboard : Not decided yet.
RAM : Not decided yet.
PSU : Not Decided yet.
Hard Drive : Think ill take a Samsung SpinPoint.
CD/DVD Drive : There's probably some cheap one out there.
Case : Something that can house his build and is cheap.
