Eh I don't really have any quick and dirty guide that breaks it all down. You just kind of learn what is compatible with what, then you get an idea of how much you want to spend, then you go to Newegg and look at things in your price range, then you read reviews to decide which one to get.
Start with processor and compatible motherboard type, then decide what features you want on the motherboard, then decide on memory, then decide on video card, then decide on hard drives, etc etc. It just takes some time to learn about stuff.

I've never played any of the BF: Bad Company games, but I think they have different gameplay than BF2 and BF3. BF2 (and I assume BF3) are based on teamwork and squadwork. You need a commander to give UAV support, artillery support, supply drops, vehicle drops, direct squad leaders, and direct pilots and airstrikes. Then you have individual squads of 5 that require a smart leader plus an appropriate mix of kit types. It's not a game that is a whole lot of fun if you just jump in and try to run off by yourself and shoot people. I think BC2 is more of a traditional shooter.
