This is what i have so far. I already have a mid tower case, windows 7 64-bit, and a 1600x900 monitor. I am planning to run BF3 and Skyrim at ultra settings. Any help on this build would be very much appreciated. I am trying to keep under 700 bucks. Thank you!

I would get something like this
The 7950 is $300 + 10% off = $270 -$20MIR + $250
The 7950 boost edition is stronger than the 660ti by quite a bit
Get a 500Gb HDD in order to get stronger cpu and mb and gpu
On the z75, if you get a small cooler or even stock, you can OC the 3470 to 4ghz
