It's not very hard at all really. Not nearly as intimidating as building a full rig.

That being said, the 7750 was a good choice for ~100. On all low settings you should get closer to 60fps on BF3.

Being on consoles you're used to the 30FPS lock, so you could change some settings to medium i bet

 

[PP Mguire]

He'll want that 60 if he hits a 64 player map. You have to take dip into consideration as well. I play on all low settings and it still look really good.

Well, if you end up playing BF3, let Rhu know. He will text me and I will jump on a game with you guys. Even if I am in the middle of a scrim against another clan on Chivalry, I'll jump over for several games ^_^

That said, I have yet to play with PP and Trotter on BF3.

 

[PP Mguire]

I can't play any online MP due to my current internet connection. Empty servers are ok but full servers I have pings over 100 and I won't be "that guy".

I play most evenings between 8 and 10 eastern. 95% of the time I am on my clan's server:
-ACI- [RIP]Vets Server - Mixed HC - Multiplayer - Battlelog / Battlefield 3

Care if a few of us join you this weekend? Having a LAN and I want to get my buddy to appreciate Hardcore. Just know that we're noobs.

I was thinking about getting some ram while I was at it. Will this do for what I have?

These are the restrictions on your motherboard (see file attached).

You should have 4 slots. You can 1333, IF you only use two sticks, because any more and it'll downshift them to 1066.

 

[PP Mguire]

That's there because AMD only officially supported 1333 when those chips came out. I bet he could set them to 1600 easy, and with only two sticks it shouldn't strain the IMC either.

Those sticks should be fine.
