That CPU is outdated so a video card upgrade wouldn't really make since with out a CPU upgrade as well. With these changes you should at least be able to play on high maybe ultra if you tweaked some settings a bit.

I don't believe there ever was an 840 BE processor. These are the only 840 phenom IIs I'm aware of:

http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Phenom%20II%20X4%20840T%20-%20HD840TWFK4DGR.html

So, you must have the first one above, right?
If so, I would stay at (or below) the HD 7870/R9-270/270X or GTX 660/660ti to avoid any major bottle neck.
