Opinions On A System

[ripstop]

Would anyone be able to give me their opinion on this system build from ibuypower? It'll be mostly used for gaming, Battlefield 3, Arma 2, maybe Arma 3 if possible, and I would like to run them decently. These are really at the high end of my price bracket, which isn't really that high being a poor college student. Originally I was considering an AMD 965 or 1055T but was told an i2 would probably fit the bill. So how does this system look? Could I do better for the same price or less?

I'm not a fan of liquid cooling. Water and electronic eventually will mix in a fine show of sparks. I'd go with a standard fan and cpu cooler and save a few bucks.

great video : Radeon HD 6850.

500 GB fills up quickly with games.... consider a 1tb or larger drive. Or plan on adding one later (easy addition, but even better to have a large c drive originally)

ok processor : Core™ i3-2120. See if you can squeeze in an i5-2500K. The i5 will give you an extra year or two of system life.

I feel like cyberpowerpc.com and ibuypower are the same site except cyberpower gives more customizability. so I would try to build what you've got there with them and get an air cooler and try to fit an i5 in even if its not a 2500k also I am worried about the psu.
