K first of all your power supply does not matter as long as it can run the parts of the computer(processor motherboard etc.) it will run a game. Also i do not believe that they have given out the required specs for bf3 so don't be worrying about that yet. I do believe that your computer can run bf3 as a guess but i would suggest getting a bigger power supply i would suggest a corsair 700 watt (thats what i use) because it is possible that having a smaller power supply running a game that could get all your parts running really fast to power down forcefully (i know what i posted up just a comment it is a very rare thing).
