Cheap (Sort of) Battlefield 3 Machine brought to you by Bunnsnow
Case & PSU: CM Storm Scout + Coolermaster Silent Pro 700W Modular PSU
Ebuyer Code: 177749
Price: £130
Description: Another great Case + PSU bundle from Coolermaster. The case has an amazing build quality. The Modular PSU is great for keeping everything clean inside the machine. The only wires you have connected are the ones you require.
Motherboard: Asus M4N75TD 750a SLI Socket AM3
Ebuyer Code: 219008
Price: £77
Description: This motherboard offers all of the features we need for a good budget gaming rig without piling on features we don't need. It has SATA 6Gb/s support as well as USB 3.0 for super speed data transfers. The MB is geared toward gaming, thanks to the dual PCI Express x16 slots, perfect for upgrading to an SLI system in the future.
CPU: AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition 3.2GHz
Ebuyer Code: 198349
Price: £67
Description: This budget chip from AMD will run the game wonderfully. This chip is absolutely fantastic because although it's cheap at only £67 this thing can be easily upgraded to a 3.9Ghz Quad Core. The overclocking can be done inside the MB Bios (Set OC profile to +10% and enable Core unleashing). I am personally running this CPU and it's handled everything I've thrown at it.
CPU Cooler: Coolermaster V8
Ebuyer Code: 148238
Price: £51
Description: This thing will keep your CPU super cool and is Silent. With silent cooling you'll never blame fan noise as the reason why some knife-wielding noob is now clutching your dog tags :-)
Ram: Corsair 16GB (4X4GB) DDR3 1333Mhz Kit
Ebuyer Code: 274404
Price: £87!
Description: At £87 this kit is awesome! 4x4GB DDR1333mhz @ CL9 timing. No problems running Battlefield 3.
Graphics Card: Asus GTX 560 DCII TOP 1GB GDDR5 x2
Ebuyer Code: 267732
Price: £176 x2
Description: Battlefield 3 is incredibly reliant upon a decent graphics card, so you really don't want to scrimp on the GPU. The GTX 560 Ti chipset from NVIDIA offers excellent BF3 performance running at 1920 x 1080. You'll probably have to make do with 2XAA with single card, but the game will still look amazing. With 2 of these beasts you'll be laughing. All settings MAXED! Each card consists of 2x DVI and 1x Mini HDMI. If you want to be a King of Kings just get a GTX590! Hoooah!
