Upgrading CPU, GPU & Mobo

[psychoholicx]

Hello

I'm looking to upgrade my computer for an upcoming game (BF3). I've been looking and learning for the past 3 weeks and I've considered these items:

CPU

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072

GPU

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-performance-radeon-geforce,2997-5.html

I suppose any of those GPUs. I just want to make sure that my GPU and CPU are on the same level for gaming. (bfbc2 is quite cpu intensive for example)

Motherboard

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130583

I've seen a motherboard for 60$, but its MicroATX. Is it really that bad that its 70$ cheaper?

Also, all the other parts should still work. I'll make sure that they do once I decided on those 3 hardware components.

Please note that I don't a lot about computer hardware and I'm willing to take any advice. Those components are really just a result of a bit of research and not a lot of knowledge.

Also, my only 2 goals are that I want to be able to play Bf3 on high settings 1680x1050 and be able to use that pc for a while before having to upgrade it again.


I appreciate any kind of advice and want to say thanks in advance.

this would be a much better mobo choice:

what is your current spec and what PSU do you have?

I'll try and figure out why this is a better mobo. Also, my psu = http://www.theitdepot.com/details-Silverstone+500W+Power+Supply+(SST-ST50F)_C14P8207.html

running this mobo http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2746
a geforce 8800GT and a E4500 dual core

post / list actual hardware...
you do not want lazy replies so don't make a lazy post..

What do you mean? I did post direct links to hardware. Just with the GPU I was giving the website with several GPUs because those are exactly the ones I was looking at.

instead of links list it like this:
cpu:
motherboard:
RAM:
gfx:
hdd:
psu:

Well thats what i did with the hardware i was looking to buy. My current pc shouldn't matter. Or am I wrong?

lol what he was trying to say is to list the rest of the components, adn yes it would be good if you listed your current PC specs too.

MoBo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130583
