CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 955 Quad 3.2GHz
Motherboard: ASRock 890GX PRO3
Vid Card: Radeon HD 6850 1GB
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500 GB
Memory: Kingston HyperX 8GB DDR3
Power Supply: CORSAIR builder series 600W
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper N 520
Computer Case: Sentey Black Box Series BX2-4291
please give me your honest opinion fellas. Its been a few years since I've put my own rig together. I thought this list was pretty good for the price I'm at with all the parts. Like I said. I'm trying to get a nice rig for a even nicer price. Just something I can run BF3 with no problems.

Good rig, it's identical to mine apart from me using the Corsair HX 650 and Im not running a case.
But a tip, imo, you should get rid of the 6850 and get a GTX 560, it's a lot more powerful, around the same price point, but with it, i get 60-70 FPS on BF3, everything maxed out, on the BETA.
Oh and a smart deal would be, get an AMD Phenom II 555 BE, you can unlock it to a Quad Core, no sweat, i've currently got mine unlocked @ 4.0Ghz.
All in all, spent around $600 on mine
