Hi i am upgrading my computer, its a HP G5384sc (http://goo.gl/m9Lv8q). So i am wondering if my MOBO (and cpu) can handle my new GPU i want to buy, a radeon 7870. I will ofcourse buy a new PSU also, a 750w should just do fine in my opinion, because i wont be upgrading my computer with another gpu running crossfire... so can my MOBO and Cpu handle the gpu i want to buy? I want to play BF4 at medium or so what fps would i get? do i really need to upgrade my RAM to 8gb? if so what a ram should i buy, because it is such an old pc? :)
answers are greatly appreciated... :)

Like all OEMs HP list several options, so which CPU is actually installed?
Look for a 500-550 Watt power supply with dual 6 pin (or dual 6+2 pin) PCI-E leads from a good maker like: Antec, Corsair, Silverstone, Seasonic, XFX, EVGA or Fractal Design, your system does not need 750 Watts.
Recently AMD released some updated cards (the "R" series) which makes things a little complicated as the new cards exactly compete with the older 7XXX series, but often at a lower price. Here's how they compare: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/gaming-graphics-card-review,review-32803-7.html You'll have to shop around for the best prices. ;)
Extra memory will help with demanding titles like BF4 and it's also useful if you want to multi task.

According to the specs you linked the system comes with 64 bit Win 7 installed, but check to be sure, the 32 bit version can only use 4Gb of memory.
You'll need to take one of the memory modules out to check its speed- it'll say something like "DDR3 1066" or "PC3 10600" try to match the numbers on your modules when ordering.
