It should run BF3. But it's a terrible build for the money. You'd be better off with the 650 build in this article.

Give AMD radeon best answer.

 

[Piyush Pratheep]

thank you so much for the quick answer.....
but its showing this...
"Compatibility Notes
Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard has an onboard USB 3.0 header, but the Cooler Master HAF 912 ATX Mid Tower Case does not have front panel USB 3.0 ports."
???

 

[AMD Radeon]

^ you put haf 912 yourself
you should know that it has no usb 3.0 at the front of the case

but dont worry, you will have it in the back of MOBO
