What will I need to improve here to be able to play BF4 on high/mid settings or DayZ standalone on high-ish settings with good fps around 40-50ish?

Honestly a new PC based on 64Bit Windows. Your system maxes out at 3GB (32bit can't "see" above 3GB) of RAM memory to 'think' how to do something. Second it is Core2Duo, these were made for the other 90% computer users out there, not for high end gaming. You would need at least a i5 (which may actually swap out into this PC, but you have to look it up with the motherboard to see if it supports the iCore CPUs).

The problem is when you start to piecemeal like that your costs add up more and more, when it be more 'cost effective' going forward to instead just swap out for a new PC, and reuse your 660 (this is a desktop right?) and swap the PSu in the new PC. For example I seen for only $599 a i7 Haswell from Lenovo, which is dirt cheap...

your gpu is fine. you should look into getting a newer processor. the best bang for your buck would be the amd fx6300 and an am3+ 970 chipset motherboard. you can likely find those together for $200 usd. the rest of your parts from your computer can all be reused. adding another 4gb of ram would help out too.

For example I seen for only $599 a i7 Haswell from Lenovo, which is dirt cheap for the newest CPU type AND a i7 core at that. If you shave off $100 then your down to a i5, but for that $100 you get more performance and much longer life out of the system.

Just a thought to consider

Thanks for answering.
Yes, this is a desktop. And something I have failed to mention was that I have a budget of about $400 to get all of the components that i need. I'm basically poor and believe it or not I have been working for 2 years to get this much.

Then forget it and go console. Really you can't game medium less then $700 even for a desktop for today and going forward. And never Dayz or Bf4 on high, because it costs more then you have since you can't seem to save more. If you invest in a console then you never need to worry, BF4 or whatever will work as advertised for that console medium.
