You can't choose anymore actually. One game only.

Formal BF3 Beta announcement is expected today.

you need an entire new rig by the looks of it....

that 400w wil limit you on what card you get and i dont think you'd be able to get onel that would make a huge difference over your 2400Pro.

BF3 should still look ok at shit low graphics

This is true and it was for the alpha testers. I chose Dead Space 2 as well once the alpha was over. I think the beta will be around the 9/25 because they are only using the beta for server load test as they have stated and I have been in BF betas before and they normally last a month.

AMD recommends a 500w or higher PSU for a 6850.

Sure you could 'easily' use a HD6850, but that 6850 could also 'easily' blowout your PSU too and fry whatever else you got hooked up

Can't start dl'ing the game until it is released to the public. You can give them your money, that's it. I don't see any option to dl the beta to have it ready by the 25th in my Origin.

So the date has been released. Almost two weeks worth for Origin preorders.

I would get that. You can't run BF3 with what is in your system specs.

Recommandations have always been weird.
