Are these computer specs good enough to run BF3 on higher graphics settings?

I would go with the 2nd one. But just to say with a budget like yours it really isn't worth it to get an i7. If I were you I would go with an i5 3570k and then you can get a much better graphics card like the Radeon 7870.

And also 1000w for a power supply is a little over the top I would get like a 750w or something like that so you can SLI later. If you can get enough money from dropping to an i5 and a 750w you can get a GeForce 670 graphics card and with that you will have a pretty kick *** computer.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
