I ordered it on 29-09-2011 and it is in building on the 7th working day.
One final check; are these specs adequate to play BF3 on max settings? Should I change anything while I can?

The GTX560 is an awesome kit but you'll need at the very least a GTX570. People are barely getting 30fps on the beta BF3 with a GTX560. Probably worth considering another motherboard to give you the option of SLI so you can just add another card if you need that extra beef.

was that max budget dude? It will play bf3 ok, but certainly not at max settings.

if you can i'd up the motherboard to the p8z68 v.
Up the 560 ti (great card already) to a 570 or 580 or 6970
up the psu so you have enough power for another 570/580/6970 to give yourself a performance boost in a year or so.

Thanks for the upgrade suggestions, but this was my budget :(

Anyway, the order has dispatched: Departed Depot 14-oct-2011 15:52:00
Since I didn't get it today, will it come on Monday or Tuesday?
