Is this a pre-built system that you got somewhere at bestbuy or something?

Okay, that's possible. Your PC is actually pretty good, but there's room to improve the graphics card. (The CPU and RAM is already good enough you couldn't really noticeably improve it) Do you have a preference for AMD or Nvidia?

Most of us probably can't navigate Malaysian sites, so it might be up to you to check if our suggestions are available.

I'd say go for a GTX 770 or R9 280X. Either one would be good and should handle Titanfall easily on ultra. I have no idea if they're available in Malaysia.

Sorry about that, I just need a specific graphic card why not give me the link for the card and Ill ask my technician about upgrading the old one to the one you recommend instead? less hassle for you :)  I dont build computers btw :p  My technician is more like a guy where you ask him to do this he does it He does not know much about good graphic cards. But his good at building free of charge unless I order from him :3

They're actually both about $350 here, meaning you'd have money left over if they cost a similar amount in your region.
The next step up would be a GTX 780. I didn't mention it at first since I didn't know how USD would convert to your currency, and also because anything better than a GTX 770 is not really necessary. If you want to spend more money for some reason, then I would suggest a GTX 780, but it's not really needed.

well how big is your case? the gtx 770 is about as big as a notebook from like a school. If you take a notebook from the back of the case where the card would go can you put the notebook across without running into anything?

It's probably as long as a notebook, but not nearly that wide. Just pointing that out.

The measurements say it should fit. I'm nervous about saying this kind of stuff for sure in case I'm wrong, but if the websites have accurate measurements, it will fit.

Different companies release a bunch of versions of the same video card with slightly different specs. Some are a little faster, some are a little quieter, some are a little smaller, etc. The EVGA GTX 770 I suggested is a bit faster and runs with less heat, but it's not a big difference.
