Will this work for games like BF4 and DayZ ?

Hey all, I have a prebuilt HP (link) http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c02631315

And i've been wanting to upgrade it to handle higher end games.
I am going to put a GTX 650 ti in and replace the PSU with a seasonic 520 watt

I was just wondering if that would suffice for playing games like bf4 and DayZ. I'm not looking for ultra I just want to be able to play the games.

I'm worried that the processor might bottleneck this GPU (link to my pc above) and I still wont be able to play the games i'm striving to play.

Will this be fine or is the processor not good enough?

That CPU will hold you back in newer titles. The lack of L3 cache kills gaming performance. I do agree on the 7850 being better than the 650ti. If you see a 650ti boost for a lesser price than a 7850, then that is a good buy as they are about equal to a 7850.

Yeah I did think about that. The thing is my budget is $200 and I have to get the Graphics card and a new psu so I can actually use the graphics card. Otherwise I would have just gotten a nicer $200 card. Think theres anywhere I can find a good quality radeon 7850 for $130 - $140 ? Newegg didn't have any that cheap last time I looked ?

Thanks
