When I built my computer last year it was at 4 Gigs of ram @ 1033, one 500G Seagate Barracuda, a 5770 on a tempest EVO case.

Now it's 12 gigs @ 1333, extra barracuda, two 460's SE in a corsair 600t case.

Awesome build. Impressive components as well. I can see someone likes corsair :D Is that case as awesome in person as it looks?

How are the temps on your two gpus given they are right on top of each other?
 
Yes really nice looking case Rusty, very tidy. I didnt get much time so my cable management is so so. HEHE I will work on it as soon as I crossfire my Video card.

Yours was nice too until the pictures disappeared lol. Just need a little bit of cable management and it'll look great. The haf x 932 is an awesome case for managing cables.
 
I hate my molex to 6 pin adapters. They look hideous, but oh well. I'm gonna charge my good camera so I can take better pictures.

Really nice build. looks really clean.
 
I have no money, so I'm going to stick with what I've got. It runs BC2 virtually perfectly, so I'm sure it will run BF3 very well.

CPU: Phenom II X4 965BE @ 4Ghz
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600mhz, mix of PNY and G.skill memory (4 sticks)
Motherboard: Gigabyte MA-790GPT-UD3H
Video card: XFX HD 5870
SSD: 120GB OCZ Vertex II <---- If I have to get BF3 on something other than Steam, it will be installed on my SSD. :thumbup1:
HDD1: 640GB Western Digital Caviar Blue
HDD2: 500GB Western Digital Caviar Black
PSU: Corsair HX 750-watt
Case: Antec 900
OS: Windows 7 HP 64-bit


WEI scores:

Processor: 7.5 <--- @ 4Ghz
Memory: 7.6
Graphics: 7.8
Gaming graphics: 7.8
Primary hard disk: 7.7

It's hard for me to swallow that my CPU is the weakest link according to WEI, but I'll take it. Also, the SSD is very strong. ;)

I'm set. It's not as powerful as your rigs, but it will work great none the less.
