What do you guys think about this spec? I mainly want it for gaming, is there anything you would replace etc, im pretty new to pc and would like some advice. I wasnt sure about the GFX card, i would want to play, for example, BF3 on ultra settings. I will be using 1 monitor only. Do you think its worth getting a larger power supply for the future incase i would want to upgrade the gfx card? . Thanks for reading

Looks pretty good to me, I would drop the cpu cooler to the triple heat pipe cooler if your not planning to overclock.

As you are using one screen you can drop the GTX 580 to the 1.5GB version...then if you have the cash now you could get a 1050W Corsair and add another GTX 580 further down the line. But one 580 will last you a long while..
