considering buying new pc, and would like to know from a tech savvy person what they would recommend performance and cost wise to make a comp, to be able to run games like BF3, minecraft and Tf2 for example at a top notch quality.

Any suggetions would help

Much love SunnyDshin

No.

That case is shit, get a Bitfenix shinobi
that psu is good, also consider silverstone 600w
motherboard is shit, get an asus p8h61
intel i5 2500 cpu is fine
paying twice the required amount for no extra performance in that ram, get any 8gb gskill/corsair ddr3 1600
560ti is terrible idea at only +10% performance for 25% cost, get a standard gtx 560
Green drives suck, get a normal sata drive by seagate, samsung, hitachi or wd
any dvd drive will do

In short: stop giving advice when you don't know what to buy or why to buy it.
