My specs are

Processor: Amd phenom II X4 955 3.20GHz (4 CPUS)

RAM: 12 GB (DDR 2)

Operating system Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 430

MotherBoard- ECS A790GXM-AD3

Power Supply: COUGAR A-Series A760 (CGR B3-760) 760W ATX12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80


I want to upgrade my graphics card but I guess I need to get a new motherboard new ram and a new processor but I want it to be under 600$ but preferable 500-550$ I would like BF4 to run on High at least that would be fantastic thank you.

Get the 8320 if you want amd, but I prefer intel myself as there are certain games like skyrim, and dolphin emulator(use to make comparison videos), that require very good single threaded performance that the 8320 just can't deliver. I also heard that the cougar power supplies were not the best and that some models of that series failed their 80 plus testing.
