for a thousand bucks i would be expecting to be running close to high, but oh well atleast your not expecting 60fps on high with a gf210 in bf3 like some of the noobs you get on here. this was just a quicky search but a good base to start from and it leaves you 150 for a monitor and mouse keyboard. this should run high at 1080p on bf3.
