New gaming rig!

Howdy one and all!

Captain Biggles is in dire need of a new gaming computer, since the upcoming fall presents some most interesting prospects (Read: BF3)

The ol' timer I'm sitting next to atm I've had for roughly 5 years (you can actually see me boasting about it here) :

Oh how things change

Anyways, money is basically not a real problem here, I'm willing to pay between 20-25000ish SEK for this one, since I want it to be mighty powerful!

I'm looking at a Swedish web-based company (totally reliable!) called Komplett.se

They have some decent gaming rigs ready but you can exchange parts to more expensive/cheaper stuff at will, and they'll build it for me, and checking it all works.

Here's a link where you can get a good idea of what I mean:

http://www.komplett.se/k/config.aspx...SystemId=10463

(NOTE! In Sweden, we always includes taxes on the price tag, so what you see, is what you pay!)

I haven't bought anything yet, and I still got about a month before finally doing so, but I've played around for a bit looking for something decent. Here's one example which I think looks pretty good:

Corsair HX 1050W PSU ATX 12V
MSI P67A-GD80 B3, Socket-1155 ATX, P67, DDR3, 3xPCIe(2.0)x16, SLI/CFX, SATA 6Gb/s, USB3.0, eSATA, FW, EFI
Intel® Core***8482; i7-2600 Processor Socket-LGA1155, Quad Core, 3.4Ghz, 8MB
Corsair Vengeance***8482; DDR3 1600MHz 8GB CL9 Kit w/2x 4GB XMS3 modules, CL9-9-9-24
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 580 1536MB PhysX PCI-Express 2.0, GDDR5, 2xDVI, HDMI, Windforce 3X, 795MHz
Western Digital Caviar® Black 2TB SATA 6Gb/s (SATA 3.0), 64MB Cache, 7200RPM, 3,5", Dual processor
Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro PCI Express x1 (Soundcard)
Logitech G35 Gaming headset 7.1 surround sound powered by dolby
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

Any thoughts? Things that might be good to know is that this computer is intent for gaming mostly! Also, if it can max out BF3 it'd be great, even though, noone knows for sure what it takes, since DICE hasn't released any specs yet...

So any feedback?
