>Battlefield 3 PC Build Guide
>Yesterday, I put a commentary up on my YouTube channel detailing a few different custom PC builds for those of you who are looking at upgrading or building a new PC in preparation for Battlefield 3 or other upcoming games. You can check out the video below for details on each build and why I chose what I did, or just scroll down to see the builds themselves. Click the PCPartPicker links to see the individual part prices, as well as total build prices.
I encourage discussion about these builds in the comments, but keep it civil. If I see any flaming or personal attacks, I’ll just turn comments off.
