Hi, I am looking to upgrade my HP Pavilion p7-1534 that I bought 3 months ago to meet the standards Battlefield 4 is going to demand. I am looking for new CPUs, GPUs, etc. My current CPU is an AMD A8-5500, I have 8gb of DDR3 Ram, and I currently have Radeon HD 7560D Integrated Graphics. Please, I will take any response into great consideration. I will also provide more information if I must. Thank you.

Do you have any idea what size your case is/what the specs of the motherboard are?

Yes. Case is 15.3in (height) 6.9in (width) and 16.1in (length). Motherboard Specs: http://gyazo.com/01ba44514227f9f3beaa41fc2671ba3c


Since your PSU is so small, you will have a hard time getting a great GPU upgrade. What I recommend is upgrading the power supply as well, to a 600W (up from the 300W that it has right now). Then, I would buy (obviously) another GPU, depending on your price range.
~$200-$220- 7870 GHz
~$300- 7950 Vapor-X
~$400- GTX 770
~$500- 7970 GHz
~600+- GTX 780/Titan (although I would definitely not go this high on your computer).
I would try to stick with the 7950.
In terms of PSU's, Corsair and Seasonic make great PSU's. I recommend the CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 PSU, $70 from Newegg.com.
Make sure that there is a slot on the side of your case for the GPU.

I have a budget of about $1000, so this is no prob. Thank you for your recommendation of the CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 PSU and the 7950 Vapor-X. Much appreciated.

Any day! This also leaves room for any other upgrade you have in mind, or for another GPU upgrade in perhaps a couple years. :)
