First off I am almost completely done with my rebuild of a new pc which will be:

AMD FX-8320 CPU (will oc to 4.0ghz)
ASUS M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard
8 Gigs of Gskill sniper Ram 1600
Radeon HD 7870 OC edition

BUT, right now here is my setup:

Core i5-670 CPU
ASUS P7H55-M PRO Motherboard
4 gigs 1333 Ram
Radeon HD 7870 OC edition

so with my current setup I am playing bf4 fine on the campaign with ultra settings as long as I have AA turned off (I leave post aa on)

but when I jump into multi matches, especially the bigger ones...I am getting low frames (20-25fps sometimes)...and I have to drop everything to high and turn aa off and post aa off.

Just trying to find where the major bottleneck is?

I know the video card is slightly pushed here, but is it my cpu or low amount or ram?

Thanks

So do you think the fx-8320 will noticeably out perform the dual core 670?

I can handle it, but when it starts dropping below like 35fps, I start to notice the smoothness go away.

It was the cpu... I overclocked the cpu up to 3.98 and got an extra 10-15fps...so I was hitting between 37-67fps in bf4 on big maps. The
