OH God, Windows XP? So Old! Will BF3 even run on a DX9 system? I don't think it will. I'm not going to suggest anything illegal, so I won't tell you that it's pretty easy to find a free copy of Windows 7 on the internet. That would be really bad of me. So I won't do it. (coughtorrentscough)
Also, ditto on the Z77 motherboard. You'll want one of those if you're planning on eventually overclocking an Ivy Bridge Processor.
