Well, the integrated graphics aren't going to do you anything good, same with that GPU. You aren't going to get maxed out with that build (I don't think). Start by getting a 7770 the very least and see where it goes, but I suspect your power supply isn't that great either and won't be able to handle it.

Heironious is correct. You are far from maxing out BF3, let alone any modern PC game. You basically need a new computer. There are upgrades that can improve performance but nothing that's going to max the game out. The CPU is an FM1 CPU which is a dead socket. Unless you have an FM2 motherboard, you're close to being dead in the water. What is the make and model of your motherboard?

How much are you looking to spend?

Honestly no. But it would be better than what you have right now. Embedded graphics for such a high end game just won't work. Upgrading the CPU is out unless you find a one on ebay. That would help and would leave you with about $70 to spend. With that much left over, you could buy a 6570 HD which would be a big improvement over your current state. However, it would still fall short. I still don't see medium settings due to the age of your hardware and budget. In all honesty, if you have a console, play it there. PC gaming is a different animal. You have to make sure your computer is able to run the game prior to buying it.
