http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-2500-vs-AMD-A10-8700P shows that the processor in yours is limited, (Compared to what I ran B3 on) that being said B3 should be able to run on it, but you'd have to make sure turbo is on.
My concern would be your graphics - using the Radeon R6 M255DX comparison:
http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R6-M255DX-vs-Radeon-HD-3870 to compare with one of the most basic cards that will work on lower resolutions, I think you would be pushing it to run it at more than medium graphics and I wouldn't even try with B4.
I could be wrong, though so give it a shot and let me know how you went.
Game on!

Thanks heaps mate, I am able to run BF4 on my Geforce 730A which I have at the moment, just would like it to run a bit faster and at a higher fps rate. I checked out the page you gave me and it looks like the r6 is slightly better but not heaps.

With no lag at all? Depends where you live and how merciful your internet provider is.

+1
Buying each individual part yourself and building the PC with them will always get you a better PC than spending the same amount of money on already built PC.
If you don't know enough about hardware then you should have done what I did and ask people on one of the tech forums for best build with the budget you have.
And if you don't know how to build the PC with parts you bought, some store owners/workers are willing to build it free of charge for you with the parts you bought from them.

+1 but also keep in mind parts are darer in AUS compared to US but yeah could have got a much nicer PC building your own up

Should probably do Medium just about, especially if you drop the resolution, might be a few nasty FPS drops here and there. It's like any lowend laptop graphics tbh, start at low and take everything else you can get away with as a win.
Will say though if you bought it new/can still return it and can hold off a couple of months Bristol Ridge is coming imminently, so you should be able to get something significantly gruntier for a similar price (infact that seems super expensive, but maybe that's just Australia?).

yeah Australia is darer, i know GTX 1080 is like 43% darer here in NZ :( doesn't look like i'll be ever getting that for a future build then

I already have 3+4 and are of the most graphics intensive games I have. I also have GTA V, Far Cry 3 and Payday (that runs fine even on my current computer). But I doo get ya :P I have seen some gameplay videos of stuff like wolfenstein and just cause 3, gotta say they do look amazing!

It can run BF3 on Low around 40 FPS at best. Sorry.

You are welcome. The good news is that AMD really went into the more core approach, so that APU will let you run a ton of things next to a game: communication software, browsers, even capture software if you ever want to do some streaming, and many more.

wow that is an awfull prebuiild, i hope that money is not american dollars, because if it is then your getting ripped off.

I recently got my hands on this computer and I was wondering whether it would be able to run maybe Battlefield 3 and/or 4 on medium to high graphics. Other than that, it would be sweet if I were able to play some other minor games with little to no lag at all.
Any help would be highly appreciated
