Gaming & Multimedia - My build.

So i have set up these hardware parts for a good gaming pc i am gonna buy.
But could it run BF3 and all those other hardcore graphics games on the best settings?
I also edit 1080p video's and graphic design. So i kinda need the CPU and the RAM.
Should i change something on this list? I can probably add 150 euros.

Here you go:

im pretty sure you could max out 1080p battlefield, i have a less powerful system than that (see specs) and i can run bf3 on max with only msaa turned off...gives me roughly between 40(ish) to 60 fps

I get more than 60 fps on average @ 1080p on my PC. He should be fine with those specs

Might wanna try 3770K for video edits.

Try a 2x 4 GB kit of ram instead of the 4x 2 GB.

Good choice on that PSU, I love mine to death, very reliable.

Antec 900 seems vastly overpriced. If that's the case that appeals to you, go for it, but I think you might find it for cheaper, although I really do not know your local market.

Wanna add 150 euros? Buy an OS!!! According to EULA, new motherboard = new copy of OS needed. Thanks.
