If he can run BF3 with no issues then he should be golden. That said, he didn't say what level of detail he can run BF3 at...
I'm having a similar issue with it - it just doesn't feel smooth (and I can get 40-50 fps from BF3 on ultra at 1080p). It's enough to stop me playing it much at the moment so I can see I'm going to have to fart around with the settings a bunch to get it right.
Specs: i5-2500k at default speed, 8GB and 1GB 570GTX overclocked.
