Hello ladies and gents, my name is Newamr and I need your help with my PC. My Pc hardly runs BF3 on lowest settings and my specs are:

Intel dual core 3.4 GHz

win7 pro 32-bit

2.5 GB RAM DDR2 I think

1GB Nvidia geforce GT210 DDR2

Now the question is: What do I need to upgrade to make my PC run BF3 at 90 FPS at least on lowest settings?

GPU and CPU

so, I should take care of the graphics card and my RAM, eh?

Yep, at least 4GB of RAM.

why CPU 3.4Ghz must be enough, better spend money on a GPU and/or ram

What dual core? Intel has made many dual cores over the past.

Most of the PC.

Intel dual core 3.4 GHz

Upgrade to a quad core.

 

2.5 GB RAM DDR2 I think

BF3 takes up about 40% of my memory and I have 6 gigs of ram. More.

 

1GB Nvidia geforce GT210 DDR2

Too cold to be running BF3 at all.

What dual core? Intel has made many dual cores over the past.

Intel pentium D

I do not think that my motherboard can take this. 6 gigs might be possible, but seriously quad core? I only want it to run at 60 FPS on lowest settings, not ultra.

Say that again and you're fired.

The rest I do agree with

6 gigs? I saw videos on YT playing good on 4

Well, dual core will do for the moment but in the future quad core may be necessary for running next year's popular titles at decent FPS(BF4 and such).

Build a new PC from scratch.

Dual Core aren't that good for gaming (I do have one, I might buy quad core soon), especially with games like Battlefield (which requires more CPU than a Call of Duty title, for exemple).

Also, you should get an extra gig of ram, it'll be enough for "low" settings.

I don't know your GPU so I'll not say anything about it, except the "DDR2" thing which is kind of slow for a GPU I think ?

I have a dual core and I can barely run any modern games without major CPU issues. Even Minecraft for god's sake.

The i3 3220 is a dual core and it can run 99% of the modern games without any issue.
