hi im going to put a computer together myself with a $500 budget and im wondering if this is a good setup:
amd fx-4100 cpu
asus m5a97-mobo
ati radeon hd 6570 gpu
8gb ram
585w power supply
i want to know if i can play bf3 on medium setting and expect 25+ fps. thanks for your help and please dont recommend any intel processors lol.

Not BF3 with that GPU. I use this in my newest build that was AMD.
FX-4100
ASUS M5A97
GTX 560 SE
Crucial Ballistix 8GB 1333MHz
CoolMax CU-700B(don't buy this brand, it was my mistake). Can you give me the total of that build so I can work with that GPU?

the total price is $426 without the gpu and im on a pretty tight budget. what is a decent gpu under $100 that you know of?

No - it's definitely not a good setup. That GPU will barely run the game at 10 FPS.

Try something like this:
