I get like 40-50 fps at battlefield 3 on low settings. I bought the pc used. It was assembled 6 months ago.
I have updated my video drivers. What other drivers should i update?

Answer
Your gaming pc isn't simply a Processor and video card. You have hard drives which become fragmented, you have drivers that become old and don't support features added in game updates, you have dust that clogs fans and keeps components from working optimally...

I have similar specs, FX-8120, 16gb ram, radeon HD7850 and I play BF3 on ultra settings on 5040x1050 resolution...and I get no lag what so ever.

Of course, I clean my PC every couple of months.

Is this a good gaming PC?

I've been picking parts for about 3 weeks and think I've finally settled on this build:

Intel i7 4770k
Corsiar H100I
Asus Z87 Pro
Corsair Dominator Platnium 16GB 1866mhz
Samsung 840 EVO 128GB SSD (for the OS and a few frequently played games)
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 7200rpm HDD (for files and less-freqiented games)
MSI GTX 780 Lightning (N780)
NZXT Phantom 410 (I will NOT change this I love the look of this case)
Corsair SP120 120mm fans (2 pack) for a push-pull on the H100i top mounted rad
Corsair HX750W
That's the build itself, here are the acsessories:
Windows 7 Professional
Asus VX238H
Razer Blackwidow Ultimate
Razer Deathadder 2013
Corsair SP2500
Razer Electra

Answer
Holy cr** thats a sweet pc! good choice and i also got a NZXT Phantom (best chassis EVER!)
it could probably run every game on the market to date on high-ultra settings!

hope this helped!
