What graphic card and mother board should i get to support the upcoming games like BF3 and so on? and what budget should i expect?please help  I'm thinking between 3k to 2.5k. The specs u probably have to decide on whether u want a Intel system or an AMD instead. Both are just as good. From there only other stuff like mobo and Graphic card choices will come in

560 Ti Fzr II - mine was able to max all at 1920x1080 on BF2 ; highest FPS around 80-90 lowest probably 40. Depending on the AA settings you're using ; I'm using the CSAA 16x though.

Chill peeps, no need to get top of the line products. As long as the game runs smooth on budget ~ mid-range hardware it's fine.........
Unless, you're truly a graphic whore or a freaking rich kid.

Like i said , calm down , no official requirement is set up yet.

For all we know he could be running with less than 2gb RAM. oh i misunderstood == i thought he have advantages over gpu based and you question his ram capacity
