I'd appreciate it a lot if someone could tell me this all looks good and could run games (like Battlefield 3 and other mainstream titles). Also I have a few PS3 HDD's that aren't being used, could I use those instead of buying one?

battlefield 3 on like medium, get a reg power supply like a corsair tx650 and make your gfx card a 6870, also you cant use a amd motherboard with a intel cpu, so chane ur cpu to a FX8120 or a your motherboard to a lga1155 socket z68, but id change your cpu to a fx8120 and i never heard of that ram so get some good old 16gb kit of gskill ares ram

I don't think that motherboard is compatible with that processor. AMD socket and an Intel processor.

Switch the CPU to a i5-2400, motherboard to a Z68 and switch the GPU to a 6850 or a 6870 and get some Corsair RAM.

Wat.

You have an AMD motherboard with an Intel CPU.

You have memory that doesn't look like it will last long. And too much of it. 8GB will be enough.

What is your budget? This comes out to around $715, so I'd assume that is around where you want to spend?

This is cheaper by like 10 bucks and will run much better.
