It will be enough. However if you are willing to spend on a 680, get a 7970 instead. With current drivers it outperforms 680 in a lot of benchmarks. You also get 3 free games with it (I think current are FC3, Tomb Raider and something else). However if you are willing to spend a little more to future proof yourself, get a 780. Its based on the titan and on average delivers about 90% of titans performance for about 60% of its price. Basically its a beast of a card.

Well. by then the new AMD graphics cards will be out....

But from what EA's been saying, their BF4 trailers has been running on a 7990. Which means in order to max it out and keep it at 60 fps constant, you'll need to shell out for more than a GTX 780 and go for a SLI/CFX set-up probably.

So basically, you'll either want to get GTX 670 SLI, GTX 680 SLI, or GTX 770 SLI to be able to run it at what the demo ran at.

Nope.... Graphic cards basically drop as much as they're going to right before the next gen gets released (usually around 10-15%) so prices right now for the GTX 6 series and AMD 7 series will probably be the lowest they'll ever get (+/- $20ish for high end cards)

Their prices are pretty much in line with their performance.
