Hi guys, just bought BF3 to find it doesn't run very well on my computer. At the moment I have an Intel e8400 cpu, 2gb memory, 9600gso 768mb and a cheapy 500w PSU. I will eventually upgrade everything but I'm thinking my of upgrading my graphics first as my CPU is OK (ish) and obviously I will need a decent PSU to run it. What graphics & PSU would you recommend? price range is £150-200ish for both (don't mind going a little over). Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Dont think you'll need to put a new PSU in just for graphics, as long as you aren't running 5 hard drives

I'd get some more memory too, an extra 2GB to take it upto 4GB

Can recommend the Radeon 6950, i bought one a couple weeks back, runs lovely!

 

well i want to get a new psu as im pretty sure it's killing HDs, 3 have died in the past year or so
