    Hi,

    Ever since I started playing Battlefied 3 in 1080p my PC is struggling to generate a decent amount of FPS even on low settings. Would it make sense for me to upgrade to:

    ASRock Z77 Pro3, Sockel 1155, ATX 92eu
    Intel Core i5-3570K Box, LGA1155 215 eu
    8GB-Kit Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 MHz CL9 50 eu
    361 eu with shipping from hardwareversand.de


    At the moment I'm running:
    Intel Core Duo E6600@ 2.40 GHz
    Asus P5Q Deluxe (P45)
    GeForce GTX 560 1GB
    2x1 GB + 2x2 GB DDR2 @800MHz
    2x 320 GB HD in RAID 0
    Corsair 850W PSU
    Asus Xonar DS sound card (PCI)
    Dell 23" U2312HM (1920x1080 IPS)


    1. What is your budget? [€350-400]

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? [Gaming/Photo editing] Battlefied 3, Lightroom 3

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? [NO]

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? [YES]

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? [Unlikely but possible]

    8. How can you pay? [Credit Card, Laser, Paypal, Bank Transfer, cash]

    9. When are you purchasing? [In 20-30 days]
