Can an i5 3330 still handle bf4 and the next gen games or should I consider upgrading now?

Intel Core i5 3330
MSI B75MA-P45 (MS-7798)

This is my motherboard and my CPU. Also, can my MOBO handle higher processors? Thanks! Total newb here :)

If you're using the integrated video on the i5 then probably not. Motherboards have sockets, certain processors go into their respective socket, any processor that you can upgrade to if necessary will be listed here http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/cpu/#m=21&k=14&sort=d5 . The open beta for Battlefield 4 is out and you can always test things out. If you do not have a graphics card, I would recommend buying a GTX 660 (or higher).

The i5 3330 is good to go for bf4. However like the other poster said you will need a dedicated graphics card such as any of the cards from the HD 7000 series or GTX 600/700 series in order to play games properly. Hard to say what card you should get without knowing what you hope to achieve with your computer as far as settings and resolution go.

I just bought the GTX 760 and for the price it's easily the best way to go. Picked it up for barely more than $280 and it's pure performance all the way. Your processor might perform a few fps lower than an 8 core in the future but it will still be mostly based on the GPU. 650ti won't hold up for long.
