So my friend purchased this computer:

(cached page since the live page isn't up anymore)
and it only runs Battlefield 3 at about 15-20 FPS. She's going to try to return it if we can figure out a better build for the money, which is where you guys come in. Her budget is about $500-600 with taxes and shipping, and she wants it to run at about 50+FPS average on Battlefield 3, and she'll need a computer, monitor, mouse, keyboard, operating system, and wireless adapter.
Requirements:
- $800 budget with taxes+shipping
- Computer needs to run Battlefield 3 at ~50+FPS at a resolution affordable at that budget (she needs a monitor as well)
- Needs computer, monitor, mouse, keyboard, operating system and wireless adapter
Please let me know if you need any more information, and thanks for the help.
Edit: From the videos I've seen of similar models, her current computer seems like it will be so tight that it won't be worth upgrading. Hopefully I'm wrong about that though
Edit 2: Expanded budget, needs OS as well
