Still on XP, look at me give a fuck.

A GTS450 will not handle BF3 'pretty damn well', it's worse than my 3 year old GTX280. If you went with the link in the OP (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...id=2040&subcat), you'd have to go with a GTX460 for it to be worth it, and it would give you good performance in BF3 (AFAIK, GTX460 is slightly better than a GTX280, plus it's DX11), but that would put you £43 over budget.

Obviously I'd recommend building one yourself or getting somebody else to help you but if you don't want to that's your choice. I'd also recommend spending £40 on a legit copy of Windows 7, but again I'm not going to try to stop you doing otherwise.

My Gt430 seems to be handling BF3 pretty damn well atm on the alpha. But yeah GTX460.
