Well I ended up upgrading for BF3.
I am coming from: AMD AII X2 250 - MSI 880G 880GM-E41 - XFX ATI HD 4770 To: Intel Core i5 2500K - MSI Z68-G45 - MSI GTX 560 Ti I am hoping this is a nice boost as I can just barely run medium with my current setup at 1680x1050. I am hoping for 5 GHz on the 2500K and 1 GHz on the 560 Ti. Hamma you should be getting some $$$ from this too. Anyone else grab anything for the game?

Just ordered the parts today actually. Everything should be here by the end of the week.

I grabbed another 4gb of ram and a 570GTX...mostly for BF3 but also because I had a 275gtx and it was a bit long in the tooth and started to sound like a vacuum cleaner under load even after I air-canned it.
My i5 750 is holding up just fine - I run 1920x1080 mostly high settings, ultra textures, and don't notice frame rate issues. I tend to find overclocking to be the fools' domain. It's rarely ever worth the effort from a playability standpoint...couple frames for a much less stable system, with potential longevity issues? I'll take a big ass cooler though, run at stock speed with a quiet fan. Silence is golden.

Agreed.
Anyway I got all my stuff setup. Going to try BF3 tomorrow. I had issues with my Win 7 install, so I installed Win 8 Preview. It works, but PS hates it quite a bit.
