Two thoughts that came to my mind:

1) Do you have the latest GPU driver? I remember that there was this RAM leak driver issue with BF3 + Catalyst + Win 8.

2) Just to be sure, you have 2x2GB + 1x4GB sticks, right?

I had the same issue, its the game not your hardware. The fix for me was as follows.

Remove any desktop shortcuts for bf4
Go to origin
Right click bf4 and go game properties
Change the dropdown from x64 to x86

This limits ram usage to 4gb. Its a temporary fix, but it works with no performance difference!
 



5750 will struggle with bf4 i would have at the least a 7790

also what is probly killing you is fact you are in single channel mode

2x2gb would have worked in duel channel but since you added 3 sticks

it has defaulted all ram to single channel to read it

so either grab another hyper x kingston 1600 or remove it and see what your frames do then also update your drivers
