| I have have been wanting to build my own custom pc, and get away from console games. Is the switch really worth the change? I have been looking into a lot of custom builds and have about 1400 to spend. Does anyone recommend any builds in that price range. |

| I can't really offer any advice on a custom build PC as I have no experience in that at all, but I would definetley recommend switching over to PC, as it is a better experience for me than consoles. |

I know what you mean a lot of my friends have BF3 for PC but they cant run it. That's why they have Console like PS3 or Xbox. |

| Well, with $1400, you could definately build a PC that runs BF3 easily on high or even ultra if you're pushing it. I can come up with a build; I'll come back to you on that.  |

I believe its Shoot me up xD lol jk I know its spelling mistake. I think with the items your gonna buy it will run BF3 smoothly and just about any other game. Try buying SWTOR as well I heard its pretty good. |
