Solve : Can these specs run Battlefield 3 on MAX??

Answer»

How much FPS would I get with these on MAX?
GPU: Asus GTX660 2GB
CPU: CORE 2 Quad Q6600 2,4GHz
RAM: 6GB DDR3 RAM.What resolution will you be playing at?  Unless it's fairly low I'm going to go with a no, the GTX 660 is fairly capable but the Q6600 will definitely hold you back.  In smaller, less populated maps it should be OK, but when you get onto more open maps with, say, 64 players and a lot going on, it'll struggle and you'll need to back off the graphics options to keep it playing smoothly.Should I overclock my CPU to like 3.0?It would help a little, if you are confident you can do so without overheating or causing stability problems, and that your CPU can do it, but it won't make it perfect, because at the end of the day we are talking about a CPU that's over 6 years old.Would you recommend this?
   Intel Core i3-3240 Processor (3M Cache, 3.40 GHz)
My MoBo doesn't support it so I'm gonn have to get a cheap one that supports that too. Suggestions?Realistically you would be better off with at least a quad core, rather than a dual core with hyperthreading.  The i5 4430 would be an entry level quad, 4670 would be ideal and would last a long time in terms of handling newer games.  The cheapest board I'd recommend would be the Gigabyte Z87X-D3H or Asus Z87-A.  Cheaper boards are available but either from budget brands (Asrock, MSI, ECS etc, which typically either won't last as long or have cut down features or odd bugs) or they don't provide the same features which make it a good basis for a system.  To me, there's little point buying a bargain basement board because you'll only need to upgrade it sooner.

What resolution will you be playing at?

This is your main decision factor at this point.
1280x720? you would get away with it.
1920x1080? not a chance.

With the specs I have (The rough AMD equivalent VIDEO card as yours; in the sidebar) I push Ultra at 1920x1080, however many online players will tell you that the 'high' setting is best for your K/D ratio. Ultra adds extra smoke, motion blur and a few shadow eye goodies but overall leaves you screaming "How on earth did you see me through all that smoke?" SIMPLE answer is his machine is not rendering the smoke, thus, smoking you.
