If investing in a new PC, do yourself a favor and get a Sandy Bridge with P67 system (in april). Amazing pieces of equipment!

I would really suggest going to aria.co.uk and checking up how much it would cost you for the same build, chances are it will be cheaper. Also, I would go for a F3 1TB. I would also go for a 6950 over a 560 mainly because it's cheaper and there is a really high chance that you can unlock the 6950 to a 6970.

Battlefield 3 wont be out till the end of the year...If it's jsut Battlefield 3 you want to tackle I would wait til the fall...because surely you'll be able to get a better performing system for the price near the end of the year. Unless you need a gaming computer now for another game I'd suggest you just wait it out till then.

I was just going to say this, buying a PC for a game that wont come out for half a year is not really smart unless your gunna be doing some hardcore gaming till then.

Personally that is when I'm ordering my new video card, not now, video cards and CPU's are comping out every month now. Wait at least till summer if your not in a rush.

Any build we make now will be outdated by the time April comes around, and even April is really early for a game comping out in the fall.
