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).

Question by Graham: what is the minimum and maximum power supply needed for world of warcraft?
i heard that 1,000 watts is ideal. i have 350 watts of a power supply in my computer

Answer by William T
Your PSU's watt output relies on the hardware in you computer, if your graphics card, GPU etc. can run off of only 350W that's cool, but that seems really low compared to my past experiences, so I may check the system requirements to see if you can even run the game on your system.
