My rig :
Proc : intel pentium e6700
Mobo : MCP73VE (acer aspire m1641)
RAM : 2gb ddr2 PC-6400
GPU : MSI geforce gtx 650ti boost 1gb
PSU : 530w
1980x1080

I want to play modern games like farcry3 or battlefield 4 with 1980x1080 smooth playing
But i think my gpu bottleneck because my e6700.
What the best solution for my case , just upgrade with core2quad or maybe changing the mobo , ram & the processor with the modern ones??
sorry for my bad englishXD

I advise you to get a Core i5 with a new motherboard and 8GB of RAM. Your GTX 650 Ti Boost might have issues playing Far Cry 3 or Battlefield 4 on Ultra or HIgh settings, but it will always be playable at Med-high or lower. How old is your PSU? If it is too old, it might have gotten to weak to power a core i5 with aa GTX 650 Ti Boost.

I think you should get a new CPU. I'm not sure if your CPU bottlenecks your GPU but the CPU only runs with about 3.0GHz. Your GPU is absolutely enough to play BF4, but I think the CPU and the RAM is the biggest problem here. Mobo's aren't very expensive either so if you can afford one I'd recommend upgrading it too.

Thanks for the reply's :)
How about i3 ?? yeah i like to get i5 or even i7 , but there are 1 things that hold me back . My money -__-
There's only maybe around 130-200 for now
Maybe with i3 , cheap mobo , 2 or 4 gb ddr3 i can afford all that Now
But what about that performance ? Will be nice if i can play smooth games with mid setting
Or how about i hold back until i have the money for i5 , good mobo, 8gb ram.

My psu are kinda old , 3 years i use this psu

How about the performance of Q8200 ?

I will need this upgrade for at least 1 or 2 years . What the best solution?

Q8200 is aged, not good for current gen games anymore. An Core i3 (4th gen) will do well for a year or two and then start bottlenecking. Certainly get 8GB of RAM. Motherboards you will find plenty for a good price/performance ratio.
