    Are you comfortable building a PC? I just built one for my sons’s Xmas for around £280. (OS not included)

    It will play BF3 on full settings at 1680×1050

    If I had the budget I would have spent more, if you bump it up to £350, I reckon you could get it to play 1920×1200 at ultra. I’ll have a look tonight and list some ebay parts but the general gist will be:

    1x mobo + i5 proc + 4GB ram for around £150 (I spent £115 and got a quad core AMD and 4GB DDR3, not ideal, but it was cheap)
    1x Graphics card probably a 6850 for around £100-£120 (I got an HD5770 for £60)
    500GB HD for about £40
    Then all you need is a case (about £30), a PSU (about £25 but you should probably spend more if you can) DVD/RW (about £15)

    I ended up spending a bit more as I picked up a gaming keyboard/mouse, a set of speakers etc.

    I’m sure you could canabilise your old PC and only really need to get Mobo/proc/RAM/GFX Card, what is it you run just now?

    Old pc will be going to the misses cos the one she is using still has a single core x64 chip. This is where i am not to good. I will need specs/exact components pointed out to me because i never know if xxx will work with xxx fine. And if things like psu will have enough power/connections.
    Whenever i buy pc parts for an upgrade i always seem to need something else. (bought a fx card and needed a new mobo and psu. Bought a new mobo and needed a new dvd drive mobo was sata only no ide)

    Lol, no worries mate, If it was one of the ones your were looking at on ebay, should be good for ultra, probably could have saved £100 but meh, the net result will be the same.
