Looks good, however, you might want to consider our ODE line of pre-built desktops as they will give you better specs for your money.

Hey pizza,

I agree with what alex said. I would go with the odes because they are the best deal digital storm offers. I personally own a ode level 1 (which i think is the best deal out of the odes!) and it runs great! Most of the components you selected match the ode level 1 components!

In terms of what you have selected the i5 processor is perfect for gaming. There are very few games that will max out the processors capabilites and all the games you mentioned will not cause that.

When it comes to the graphics card, I personally would recommend the gtx 670 right now . I personally have one (comes with ode level 1) and it runs everything I have without any problems. You can check multiple review sites. THe gtx 670 is one of the best bang for your bucks right now. Thats not to say AMD cards are not great, but from what ive seen nvidia has a slight edge right now. For battlefield 3 nvidia cards run better as of right now

Heres a review of the gtx 670 showing battlefield 3 fps
