Brief knowledge of American Revolution(2-4 sentences): The Americans declared independence from Great Britain and then Great Britain responded with warfare. Many mercenaries joined in the war, like the Hessian's, the Saxon's, and the French. France was a major factor later on in the war where they provided financial aid and also declared war on Great Britain. Spain was also a help in the late war. Eventually the United States won the revolutionary war and preceded to gain territory, (Louisiana Purchase, western exploration, Manifest Destiny, etc)
Faction choice(Americans, British, French, Hessian or Citizen): Pour la France!

An APU is a CPU with a GPU built in(a video card has a GPU in it, so it's basically a CPU/video card combo.) They're relatively new, only AMD has them right now. I was basically saying that although it's new, APU's are pretty weak in terms of processing power, compared to Intel CPU's right now. So if you get too good a video card it will bottleneck it, and you won't see much of a performance boost. A 6850 is a good middle ground for money/price/power/etc. I'm not sure what BF3 performance you'll get, you can probably get 60 FPS on some setting.
Thanks man! I'm glad I can play modern, good quality games. I'll definitely stick with the 6850
the 6850 could do high easy, Ultra with AA / AF turned to maybe x2 and some other settings lowered
an APU is an Accelerated Processing Unit, basically a weaker processor and a nice GPU on the same chip, which while working for minecraft and pretty much any Source game, is pretty weak for more graphically intensive games like BF3 and Skyrim on high / ultra
jargon is pretty simple CPU = processor, GPU = graphics card, and RAM is just RAM lol
Satharis is right to be honest about getting a 6850, anything higher would be held back by the processor on your APU, so it wouldn't be worth going higher with your current computer
Well I don't understand all this hardware jargon but I don't know what an APU is (I know where you are getting it from, but I don't understand the function). I understand that you said 6850 was probably the best I can handle right now. I don't mind maxing BF3 but will I get a solid amount of 40 fps on medium-high?
I know definitely I could use a 6850 on America's Army so now that is not a worry. Also if you could use semi-basic 'jargon for newbs' that would very cool.

I'm using an ASUS 6850 right now, and I LOVE it. Works like a charm, plays everything I throw at it on high-max, and older games on max. I suggest, though, if you have a little bit of spare cash, get a 560 Ti - much better card, if you have the cash.
Could you please link me to a website like Best Buy or Amazon with the price and other information of this graphics card? And I my price range is anything under 200 dollars.
