I don't even think a 5450 will make it to BF3's main menu. AMD APU's out-bench it. Can't ask for a lot when you're looking at a $30 video card. I'd recommend a 2gb 6950 since BF3 will need the extra vRAM due to the high textures. ...The ''500w'' PSU also is a concern.

Samladx - That's not going to be enough to play BF3. I just upgraded my PC with a GTX 560ti (Gigabyte) - I was able to get it from NewEgg for about $200. You could probably do something like a GTX 550 or 460 or HD 6870 if you had to.

Is your PSU 80 plus certified? I think you'll probably be alright if it is. You can use NewEgg's or Thermaltake's PSU calculator to help out. I would advise you go with 600 watts. I've seen some really cheap ones from OCZ (80 plus) with rebates making them around $60.

Do you have a budget?
