hoping this runs preety quiet+high performance
i also hope to get this much cheaper too =P like 800 tax in
what do you guys think? for the price+ performance is it worth it?
is there anything i should change? like motherboard/ram/powersupply/harddrive

If you want to save some money then an I5 is enough for your needs (BF3 + web surfing)
If you want quiet stray away from the MSI videocards as they are mostly known for good cooling & noise, go for an Asus Direct CU 560ti since it can provide a good balance between noise and cooling
However, if you plan to run a 3+ monitor setup in the future get an HD6950 as its in the same range as the 560Ti
Case, go for something like a Sonata or Fractal R3 as they have sound deadening in them
Ram, maybe its just me but Id get G-skill or Corsair to match your CPU since they have much better quality and wont really limit your overclock headroom
PSU, is really an important part of the rig and I wouldnt cheap out on an OCZ psu as I've heard and seen reviews that its a hit or miss, get something thats gold certified
HDD, if you are only running 1 hard drive, get a WDD black to stay in budget instead of the green as the green series are slower and are good for storage purpose and not so much gaming
