    Planning a build, been out of the game for a while...

    You mentioned bf3. I read the review here on this site and they found that every entry point Nvidia out paced and for CPU. I run a gtx 560 ti and its a solid card. Personnally I would prefer a 580. My core 2 q9450 is struggling to keep up withe the 560. Time for a new build for me as well.
