1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
I'd really love to be able to play battlefield 3 in 1080p with 60fps, this is my main goal.

2) What's your budget?
Are tax and shipping included? 500

3) Which country do you live in?
Florida, USA

4) What exact parts do you need for that budget?
cpu,ram,case,gpu,mobo,psu.hdd, cooling

5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing?
none

6) Will you be overclocking?
If possible

7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
42 inch 1080p

8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Now

9) What features do you need in a motherboard?
I'd like usb 3.0 but if it doesn't fit within the budget I'd be fine without.

10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license?
Yes win7 64bit
 
Maybe 60FPS with a mix of low and medium settings with this setup:

$117 - Intel Core i3-2120
$65 - Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3V Intel B75 mATX Motherboard
$31 - G.Skill Value Series F3-10600CL9S-8GBNT 8GB DDR3 1333 RAM
$128 - MSI R7770-PMD1GD5 Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB PCI-E Video Card
$65 - Seagate Barracuda ST500DM002 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s Hard Drive
$45 - Corsair 430CX V2 430W PSU
$50 - NZXT Source 210 Elite Black ATX Case
---
$501 shipped.

If you want 60FPS and high settings, you're gonna have to increase your budget by about $300 to $350.
