So this is what i have so far; the goals for the rig are to be able to handle bf3 ~60fps and last atleast 2 years.

CPU : i5-2500k ($219)

Mobo : Asrock P67 Pro3 (b3) ($55)

RAM : 4Gig Gskill ($29)

HD : WD 640gig 7200rpm ($29)

Power Supply : Corsair CX600 ($69)

Video Card - to be determined

~430$ invested so far.

suggestions so far? i was looking at a gtx580 for the videocard simply because i must go with a single card due to 1 pcie slot.

I would change your RAM to 2x2GB of G.Skill ripjaws instead of one stick. Also a 580 sounds good, why did you buy a new PSU instead of reusing your 850w unless your going to keep your old rig.

I'm planning to pick up another 4gb stick or ram to total 8gb yes the old rig is staying so I will not be sourcing parts from it
