My Silverstone's SG07's power supply decided to bite the dust, so I figured it was time for a bit of a change up.
 
Intel i5-760 @ 3.8 GHz
MSI P55 Big Bang Fuzion
8 GB DDR3 1333 SDRAM
3x AMD Radeon 6970 2GB
3x NEC 23" EA231WMi Monitors
2x Patriot Inferno 120 GB SSD
1x WD 2TB HD
Silverstone Raven RV02 Case
 
Really need to get around to installing a watercooling setup. Fan noise is killing me.

I'm giving you a high five for building almost exactly what I would! But I'm deducting points for onboard sound! FWIW, our major difference is with my 760/P55. For Bad Company 2, you'll be looking at 250 to 300 watts fully loaded from the wall! Efficient and fast!
 
Edit: I can pull 60 frames minimum @ 1680x1050 with 8x MSAA, so that should give you something to look forward to! We'll probably need another 560 for BF3, but I'm concerned about the relatively low framebuffer. I've seen it hit 75% on the 1GB with above settings.

 
I built this machine for editing photos and HD video. I'll be adding a soundcard or DAC at some point. If I go with a soundcard, then I need new speakers, so I may just buy or build a DAC.

Flagship desktop (3.5 years old):
 
-Intel Core 2 Duo Q6600 (3.2 GHz 8x400) / Sunbeamtech Core-Contact Freezer
-8 GB (4*2 GB) G.SKILL DDR2-800 (5-4-4-12)
-Galaxy GeForce 8800 GT
-Auzentech X-Fi Forte
-Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P 2.0
-PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610
-2.5 TB combined storage (2*HD103SJ, 1*WD5000AAKS)
-Aplus/ABS Tagan Black Pearl
-Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
 
I'll upgrade the graphics card after the next generation of graphics cards (specifically NVIDIA's Kepler) hits the market. The mobo, CPU, and RAM will likely hold out until 2013. It's actually been through a few upgrades since I've had it-2 GB to 8 GB RAM, new full-tower case with much better airflow, and the two HD103SJs.
 
Classic gaming desktop:
 
-AMD Athlon XP 3200+
-2 GB (2*1 GB) Corsair XMS DDR-400
-eVGA GeForce 6800 Ultra
-Auzentech X-Fi Prelude
-Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe
-some generic PSU I haven't bothered to look up
-200 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 HDD
-Lian-Li PC-61B
-Windows XP Professional
 
This one's built to handle somewhat older games than the flagship, but isn't completely flawless with certain Win9x-era titles to the point where I'll have to build another that's even older and tailored for Win98SE. It's still a useful backup, mostly composed of parts I got for free or cheap...save the X-Fi Prelude, but that was intended for my flagship until the front left/right audio jack on the A7N8X-E started acting up and I decided to "upgrade" the flagship so this machine gets the Prelude as a hand-me-down.
 
HP EliteBook 2730p
 
-Intel Core 2 Duo SL9400 (2.13 GHz in dual-IDA mode)
-4 GB (2*2 GB) ADATA DDR2-800
-Intel GMA 4500MHD
-Analog Devices SoundMAX AD1984A
-Intel X18-M G1 80 GB SSD
-12" 1280x800 BOE Hydis AFFS+ LCD / Wacom Penabled
-Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
 
My main mobile machine. Gets a ton of battery life with the additional slice battery, has one of the best screens I'll find on any notebook in terms of image quality and viewing angles, and I can write and draw on it as needed, allowing me to go paperless. Also, while the sound capabilities are meager at best, the headphone jack at least isn't noisy like a typical desktop motherboard.

$10 bucks says Kepler picks a fight with Kentsfield like Fermi before it.

 

[NamelessPFG]

You mean to say it'll bottleneck?
 
I'm fully expecting that (every computer has a shifting bottleneck depending on the current workload), but the idea is that the 8800 GT is my current biggest bottleneck for my uses, then the upgrade (may not be Kepler, but it sounds like Fermi would bottleneck already) would shift that back to Kentsfield/Q6600 (albeit overclocked), and whenever I get around to doing that big system overhaul afterward, I'll just carry over the new graphics card, which will likely be the bottleneck for gaming performance again since the CPU's a few generations newer and most games have the bulk of their workload on the GPU.
 
But I won't be that overtly concerned about it so long as I can run every game I have at a constant 60 FPS or higher...doing that with Crysis on Very High DX10 won't be easy, though, to say nothing of what future games like Battlefield 3 might demand.
