I think your screwed since thats a SFF type PC with 180watt external power supply you can't even upgrade it to a better card. I even tried to use the customize option and there is no hardware that you can even upgrade to from dell.

Yeah, reading over that page is a little sickening. To call that thing a 'gaming PC' borders on fraud.

Granted, the higher-end version (with a GTX 660) would be a legitimate gaming PC, but I don't see a price for that configuration, nor does the basic ($700) configuration allow for hardware customization (if you click on "customize and buy"). Dell gives me an option to switch to Windows 8 and customize my desktop wallpaper (LOL), but there's very little substance on the customize page.

All of the above having been said, and after I did some re-checking on the hardware specs of the computer in question -- the OP might be able to run BF3 at low-to-mid settings with decent frame rates. The GTX 645 isn't quite as bad as I originally thought; it's a rebranded GTX 560 SE sold exclusively to OEMs. The GTX 560 SE was an obscure, pared-down version of the GTX 560.

I'd give it a shot, Donkey.
