Hey guys, I've been doing some research on upgrading my computer and i want to know what you guys think and if it would work.

My current rig:

Operating System
Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
CPU
AMD Athlon II X2 250 52 °C
Regor 45nm Technology
RAM
8.00 GB Single-Channel DDR3 (7-7-7-20)
Motherboard
Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. M68MT-S2P (Socket M2)
Graphics
10 (1920x1080@60Hz)
S240HL (1920x1080@60Hz)
896MB GeForce GTX 275 (CardExpert Technology)
Hard Drives
932GB Seagate ST1000DM 003-9YN162 SCSI Disk Device (ATA)
Optical Drives
HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH24NS95 SCSI CdRom Device
Audio
NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM)

That is my current setup.



Alright, now here's my problem. I can run must medium games well including Gmod, TF2, Lfd, Minecraft and others. When it comes to games like arma and BF4, that's when i struggle to get good frames. On both them games, i can hardly scratch above 15-20.

I wanted to get a new graphics card to fix this issue and have looked into the gtx 760. (Anyone recommend something better around the price let me know)

If i get the 760 and plug it in, will it work fine? Or will my motherboard or other hardware not be able to handle it? This is what i want to know! :) I want to be able to run BF4 on 1920x1080p (Not bothered about settings) at solid 60FPS.

Sorry for the long question, hope you guys can help. I'm not very good when it comes to computers.
