It will run on the lowest settings with like 25 frames per second at best. If you want a serious suggestion, get at least an Intel i5 + GTX 550 Ti, but an Intel i7 + GTX 660 Ti would be best. 3gb of ram was a typo. My bad. I'm running 4gb of ram. Thanks for the help.

What an utter **** Yes, his CPU isn't as good, but he can play the game at quite playable framerate on even mixed high/medium settings.

After searching people seem to be getting at least 30 fps on high with this card with mixed settings so I'm not to concerned about that anymore Mainly the cpu is what I'm concerned about.[QUOTE="SKaREO"][QUOTE="Jgamer125"]I want to run Battlefield 3 on at least medium settings.

[QUOTE="JigglyWiggly_"]the gpu will run the game kaish your cpu is poopJgamer125kaish?
Okayish.
I hate to say it, but don't expect the game to smooth and I don't think it would be playable over 32 players. The game is cpu intensive too, and my old c2q struggled at times to keep up. You also need more ram, but ddr2 are expensive, so is better to overhaul.
I think a 3570k or fx 4100 will help you play at medium settings, but otherwise low settings on smaller servers.

The problem is the CPU. If you don't want to spend much, get a quad-core FX from AMD.[QUOTE="SKaREO"] My honest opinion, it's old budget hardware and you obviously have no clue what you're doing if you have 3GB of RAM.

If you're going to buy this setup, get the HD 7770 as your GPU instead.
