from what I saw BF3s premium stuff was pretty awesome. I only ever played Gun Master and Scavenger by the end of it.
I expect good things from BF4s as well, but I don't feel the need to buy it yet.

Also, even with regular edition of the game you'll get a free expansion pack, China Rising, for free, as long as you'll preorder the game before the official release day.

Here's my first stab: Always liked Intel, old asus MB and Intel run me for many years.

However, for the avid Battlefield player, look at it like this:
I've so far put 237 hours into BF3. I paid $60 for the initial Limited Edition game at release, and another $50 for the Premium edition when it was released. That's a total of $110.
This works out to 46cents per hour of entertainment (although my wife tells me that I need to include the cost of my computer, but I politely ignore her on things she clearly knows nothing about, lol), which is pretty good value, if you ask me.
Based on that rationale, I Pre-ordered BF3 and premium yesterday, and look forward to when I can actually play all the maps.

I'd think that a GTX460 wouldn't be too terribly bad if you backed off the settings a little?

If, on the other hand, EA decides that they'd rather cash out and only deliver content with minimum effort behind it, you'd be crying foul all year long without being able to do anything about it. EA doesn't deserve our trust in the least IMO, and pre-ordering expansions with this season pass/premium stuff is showing them trust using the only currency that EA actually cares about.

We probably will rent our own but it will mostly be for certain streaming channel (on Twitch.tv) fans.
