An Hd5450 wont run BF3 well, its a low end card at best. BF3 is also very cpu intensive. You can use GPUz to check the gpuusage and you can use task manager to check cpu usage to see which is the current bottleneck. My bet is its the 5450.
my mate has a GeForce GTS 450 for me to use hopeflly that will do the trick alternativly i will need to get processer also ive seen this AMD bulldoser 6 core processer i was wondering how the hell do i know if that will work on my pc

If you currently have an Intel you would have to get an new motherboard, it would probably be cheaper/better to get an i5 which would most likely be faster than that 6 core amd anyway. What motherboard do you have? The GTS 450 isn't great but its better than a 5450.

Run cpuz and post what it shows for the motherboard model#. It maybe possible you could upgrade to an i5 3350p where you have an i3 3320. Whats the make and model of the power supply?

You maybe right, I have just seen a couple friends struggle with the game in multiplayer and upgrading or overclocking the cpu helped greatly. I personally dont play the game.

Ya that game BF3 is extremely optimized to run better on nvidia hardware so ya the slower 560ti will probably do about the same as the more powerful beast HD 7850.
