I started a thread a few weeks ago around a BF3 build (BF3 v. My Wallet. With some good advice and additional research, I'm coming close to a build and may even pull the trigger tonight. I really want to stay under $1K and I've leaned against CF for a lot of reasons (not ready for microstuttering, heat or power issues). But I definitely want to leave myself some opportunity down the road. I'm also on a 1680x1050 for now but that could change over the near future so I don't want to limit myself that way either.
