I just saw a loaded dell system go on sale. If anyone doesn't have a computer that will run BF3 and doesn't want to build their own, this is a good deal for a gaming system.
Dell Inspiron 620 Slim Tower Desktop: Intel Core i5-2310 (2.8GHz), 6GB DDR3, 1TB 7200RPM HDD, Radeon HD 6450 1GB Graphics, Wifi-N, Win 7 Prem 64-Bit $500

That's not much of a deal at all. The 6450 is basically worthless for gaming. It can barely run CoD, letalone BF3. Hell, it's even weaker than the GPUs in consoles.
If you want to run BF3 at a decent resolution and framerate, you'll need at least a 4870. Buying that card or something equivalent will cost around $200. Considering that the Dell most likely uses cheap, generic memory, HD, mobo and PSU parts, you're better off searching for good prices on good components and building your own system.
