Wondering if my graphics card is good enough to run this game. I have an ATI Radeon HD 3450.
I have an Intel Quad Core 2.50 gig processer and 6 gigs of RAM so that part should be fine.
I'm able to play The Witcher with only a little bit of slow down in big battles and can only play Dawn of War II with the setting all the way on low.
I would prefer to get this game for the PC instead of 360, but if it won't perform well I'll go with the 360 version.

Your stats that you posted are up to par and you should not have any issues on normal settings for the game. Just don't go with any his resolutions or your frames will drop or the game will freeze.

I believe the minimum for Radeon is HD 3850...
If you have some money to spend then I suggest to go to newegg and browse through their selections since. You can find some great deals over there (it is where I got my Radeon HD 5750 at). Also, how powerful is your Power Supply (watts). If it is questionable then I may suggest that you upgrade your PSU also.

Recommended is the 3850, the minimum is ATI Radeon X850. I just wasn't sure where that stacked up with what I have. I would love to get a better graphics card but I have a slim case and there just aren't many good cards that will fit.

The X850 is the named minimum because of the SM3 shaders, for which the high end Xn00 cards had only part of the SM3 pixel shader functionality. Drivers for the X800s, which also should work fine (assuming small textures are acceptable), weren't supported by ATI as long as the X850 was, so that the Omega drivers are needed for an X800 Pro.
The minimum card from the HD 3n00 generation is the HD 3650, and it was offered in a Low profile version, but at the time the question was asked, the HD 4650 was a better low profile choice. Technically speaking, the HD 4350 ought to just about be strong enough for DA: O, with some occasional slowdowns when there is a lot on the screen to handle. The HD 3450 was probably a worse card than an HD 2400 Pro was, and neither is good enough for this game.
(There also have been Geforce 9600 cards in Low Profile, but places suich as Newgg haven't seemed to keep them in stock regularly.)
