So my PC got built about 6 months ago for around 600 bucks. It ran crysis 2 maxed out. Ive now added to it. Its at about $950 now and runs BF3 maxed out except only 2x MSAA. Anyways point being is a computer bought 6 months ago for 600 will max this game out. With a new water cooler, more ram, and a SSD a 1k PC will run it maxed out with like a billion FPS and low load times. What are people talking about expensive?
AMD 955 BE (overclocked to just over 4ghz)
crapy 50 buck asus motherboard
NVIDIA GTS 450 also overclocked
corsair 120g SSD
500g HHD
8 gigs ram
600w PSU
You could build a PC for around 400-600 that would max this game out easy.
I'm just got out of the Corps and started going back to school so i don't have a ton of cash, but saving 600 for my initial purchase was not bad at all.
To clarify. I play these games on a 42 inch Plasma TV. I play in standard widescreen format because it looks the best on my screen.
