hi im looking to get a reply from the community to see whether this system build that i have in mind would be enough to max Battlefield 3 and if not max sustain a reasonable FPS rate online(multiplayer).
i7 3770k 3.5ghz
z77 motherboard
16 GB DDR3 1600MHZ Corsair RAM
120GB SSD
1TB hardrive
NVIDIA GTX 650 2GB

if there are any questions please ask and forgive me for any mistakes as i am new to Toms Hardware and the general community of computers.

1. i5 3570k instead of 3770k.
2. 8gb ram is more than enough for gaming.
3. 670 or 7950 or 660 ti. instead of 650. depends on your budget, since you will be saving money from your cpu and ram, priority would be first to last.
