Hi, so I have a HD 7770 and Q8200 with 4Gb Ram, I play on 1080p on med settings with a an average of 40FPS, some maps 60 fps. I was just wondering should I upgrade my CPU or GPU to increase my FPS and possibly play on med-high settings?

Btw, if I want to upgrade the CPU it has to be FX-6300.

Hey first of all thanks for replying, I only have enough to upgrade either the cpu or gpu not both ( since I'm only 14 so I don't have a job and I don't want to ask my parents for money) is my cpu sufficient enough for BF4? Will I benefit from upgrading cpu instead or will getting the gpu drastically increase my fps in this game and others?

I would go for to 7870 or the r9 270x if it were up to me. i had acctually owned a r9 270x for a little while. I was able to achieve about 50 - 60 FPS with my AMD Phenom II x4 965. the r9 270x is basically a rebrand of the 7870.

Alright thanks guys for you help :) Oh 1 more question,when I'm on Windows 7 and playing BF4, how come when I am around 5 mins into the game, it freezes and sometimes says BF4 has stopped working or I have to restart my PC? It happens every round. But I don't like Windows 8.1 because the internet browsing is soo slow and sometimes pages don't load.
