Okay. My last question (maybe) is how do I determine if the 6870 will work with the selected power supply unit?
Alright, because I remember for the GTX 560 I had to make sure my PSU came with 2 6pin connectors, and I wasn't sure about this one.
This is the PSU I selected.

P.S. I'm sorry for so many questions, I have owned Macs all my life, so all this is super new to me, never heard of most of these concepts :/
Okay, I will get that PSU. If it were you, which GPU would you choose?
Galaxy GTX 465 can play BF3 on High.
RAM, I will agree. 6 GB at least, so a 1366 system will be fine.you need atleast 8gb ram and atleast 2 580's to completely make everything out to like the extreme.

The 2 580s not really. If you've been monitoring the BF3 thread on the forum here, it dont play nice with SLI or CF really. 2 580s isnt going to perform as well as 1 580.

Just because you are not having trouble doesnt mean everyone isnt. There are plenty of confirmed CF problems, but that dont mean everyone will run into them with each copy of the game.I disagree, my cf 6950s run bf3 on ultra 1920x1080 at 75 fps avg (fraps) without microstutter and I haven't even installed cap 4 yet. Not sure about NVIDIA sli though.
