Hey dude, that APU is fairly weak and not suitable for a game like BF3 none the less you may still be able to achieve around 30 fps with a GTX650ti. What is your PSU? I'd recommend this GPU http://www.dabs.com/products/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-650-ti-1032mhz-1gb-pci-express-3-0-hdmi-8BP8.html?refs=57220000&src=3 but you should upgrade your CPU in the future to maintain a good amount of FPS in heavy 64 player servers.
 


Hi - you are limited in vid card choices by the 300w PSU in that HP.

Any decent card for bf3 is gonna need 400w & many greater than that.

Does no one understand Hybrid Crossfire?
Okay @OP, Buy a Radeon 6570. It will run in hybrid crossfire with your APU and will probably be able to handle 720p at low - medium settings without too many problems.

Eh OP would get better performance with a better gpu than pairing 2 low end gpus together.

True but he wouldn't need as much power. because the APUs are inefficient as hell, so he would be using less power with his 6570.
