Hey guys I am wondering if now is time for me to upgrade. I know my GPU is out of date but I'm not sure about the rest.
My system was initially built in 2010 to run StarCraft 2 and the reason why I selected the CPU I did was because there was, at the time, reports of it being able to hi 4-5 Ghz OC.
First I would like to know if my system is capable of running BF4 and what you think the highest settings would be.
Secondly I would like to know how my system would hold up over the next year if all I do is OC the CPU to 3.5-4Ghz, replace the GPU with say an R9 280x which is my GPU of choice ATM and if my PSU should be upgraded or if there would be a bottleneck somewhere.
Third, and this is unrelated to upgrading, I'd like to know what kind of difference my system OC'ed to say 4~Ghz and a modern system with a CPU already at 4~Ghz everything else being the same.
