Hi Krao1,

You have some problems with your system and I urge you not to place your order until you get some feed back. Are you dead set on a AMD system or would you rather have a better performing system for the same money?

I don't know where you are getting your information but I don't think anyone knows what equipment is going to work best for BF3 until it comes available.

Frank

for that price range this monitor is much better:

Dell UltraSharp U2311H 23

it goes on sale for $270 or $250 wait till it ges on sale and buy it, its a much better monitor, that syncmaster is a TN panel, the dell is an IPS panel.

Most important thing about a monitor is its panel, right now there are 2 major ones, TN and IPS, IPS has superior picture quality/clarity.

for that res a 6950 is not gonna do great at bf3 if you are looking for high settings and etc.

bf3 run better on ati? whoever told you that, should get slapped in the face for bad info, the game is not even out yet, which card it runs better on (if that was even a real issue) can't be known at this time.

you got a ticket number for that?

Yes but that is just a promo, the full game is not out yet so that just advertisement, but ode 3 should be able to handle it just fine
