VG247 report that GameStop have listed system specifications for Battlefield 3. These aren’t an official announcement from DICE so we can’t confirm the required rig, yet, though we have contacted EA to verify the specs. Still worth a peek though eh?
Minimum

    Hard Drive Space: 15 GB for disc version or 10 GB for digital version
    OS: Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Processor: Core 2 Duo @ 2.0GHzRAM2GB
    Video Card: DirectX 10 or 11 compatible Nvidia or AMD ATI card

    Hard Drive Space: 15 GB for disc version or 10 GB for digital version

    Processor: Quad-core Intel or AMD CPURAM 4GB
    Video Card: DirectX 11 Nvidia or AMD ATI card, GeForce GTX 460, Radeon Radeon HD 6850

 
Looks like it’s nowhere near as intensive as ARMA 3, the equally beautiful PC-only war sim that’s due out next summer. Battlefield 3 is due for release in October. Read our preview and watch the latest gameplay footage, for your next battlefield fix. And here’s all our Battlefield coverage in one handy place.

Do you need to upgrade for Battlefield’s incredi-visuals?

sir your card is just fine man. there is no need for you to upgrade. you wont have much overhead but im sure it will run smooth still.

and get rid of the amd cpu. its junk its holding you card back. i got an I7 and it opened a new world of overclock scores from my GTX 480. one of the best upgrades i have ever done.

At the time I built this computer I was able to get the processor for 189 and the equivalent i7 was 1000 so I got what I could afford, believe me I would love an i7 but that would mean a new MB, chip, memory and all and that is to much money for me right now.
