How good is this setup?
Motherboard: Asus M5a78l-m Lx

Processor: AMD FX 6300 SixCore

RAM: Kingston 4gb Ddr3

Graphic Card: VGA EVGA GeForce GTX650 1GB DDR5

As a reference, how would it run Battlefield 3 or Crysis 3. Would it handle the Max graphical settings and keep a good FPS rate? I don't have any experience when it comes to computers, so if I forgot something or if you want to know any further details, please ask.

my 3-4 years old pc have quad core i7 2600 and gtx 580 +8gb ddr3. it runs bf3 60 fps maxed. it must be terrible if you have 120 h monitor tho.

so your setup will most likely work. tho i would say that you need games like arma or DCS for benchmarking your PC.

casual shooters like BF and crysis are developed for consoles and low-mid hardware due scrubs market so don't expect that testing your pc on such titles will actually prove anything. time of hardware race is over for now.

i would say that 8gb ddr3 is a must due new consoles standarts, not sure about vddr. mine is 3 gb but it barely goes up to 2

midtier = already outdated.

get something good and it will serve proper for years

i don't know what mentality you need to buy an ALREADY outdated product.
if you feel like you want to pay a bit more for shipment you can find a logistics company that will deliver it yourself. just make sure to tell that you are not a corporate client but individual
you would not find shipment price lower than the one you can get online, due contracts with logistics company and goods provider, but this is the best way to be sure.

attempt this option only if you are completely paranoid, otherwise order regulary.

I don't really get it, I can obviously be wrong about this but I've watched a lot of gameplay footage showing off the graphic's card potential and they all ran BF3 on the high settings in a great resolution, and even on ultra, although the latter required them to set the game to a lower resolution, but it actually made a great job. If the performance they got was also a result of a good processor, well I don't see a problem with the one I mentioned.
My point is, judging from what I have seen this card shouldn't have much of a problem running BF3 on High.
























...right?
