I got tired of playing XBox 360 Battlefield. It's just not Battlefield unless it's 64 players on a map to me. Any suggestions that won't break my bank? And by break my bank I mean $800 or less is what I'm looking for.

From the ground up on ultra-settings on a 64p server? Not gonna happen.

You've got the right mindset though

Around $1,200 and you're in business.

So an i5 with an nvidia gt 545 with 8 GB RAM can't handle that? What about with an i7? Both systems with 8 GB RAM. Dell is selling the i5 system for 800 and the i7 for 900.

See, what you're looking for is a refurbished macbook air.

This is an excellent sub reddit for building PC's. You can find other builds that people have used to run BF3.

Thanks for the input fellas. I think I'm just going to build one since that seems to be the cheapest way.
