Pretty much any worthwhile upgrade will bottleneck a dual core. I'd focus more on that CPU before anything. Especially since BF4 is pretty CPU intensive.

A Radeon R7 250 is a good choice if you want decent performance and price:

If you want better performance for price and no additional power imput try the new Nvidia GeForce 750ti:

For the bottleneck I'm really not the person to answer that.

What power supply do you have? It's crucial to have a sufficient one when getting a new graphics card.

GTX 750 would be a good purchase.

Pryo's right. BF4 requires a solid modern Quad core. Medium and even Low settings is going to be tough unless you really lower the resolution. Basically, your computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements for the game. Considering you are on such a tight budget, I'm just going to say don't buy the game. It won't run and if it does, I don't see how it would be enjoyable.

I noticed you created another thread about overclock your CPU. It won't help with BF4.

oh i see .. tht means i need to upgrade my processor? or else? .. because i dont have the RIGHT budget and time to build a new pc .. i have 450w of PSU if im not wrong :/

Get a new processor. Before anything. There's no point upgrading anything else as long as you're running a dual core.

what processor are good enough for lga 775? and is lga 775 still launch or dead? this question a bit funny but i just want to know ..

I had another person ask me this for his build. I'd say you need to just save up money for a new computer. The 775 socket is discontinued and what currently exists for it is crap compared to modern parts.

so the answer is save a little bit of money and get a new pc .. am i right?

You could play BF4 on your current CPU, but it wont be smooth, regardless of what GPU you have (check out youtube vids of people playing bf4 on core 2 duo), but then again some people dont care too much about it being totally smooth.

If you really want a gaming pc, then it would be better to start again with an i5 + a good GPU.

any build pc budget around 300 bucks? i just want to know what MOBO,CPU,PSU,Chassis to buy with my 300 bucks .. because of my tight budget and i really want to play BF4 since the release of BF4

I would say you are better off with a Xbone or PS4, a $300 gaming pc will be crap.

xHokaido760_0 · Apr 1, 2014

so what budget will i need to build a gaming pc with a not very high budget ..

barto · Apr 1, 2014

At minimum, $500 USD. I strongly suggest $700-800 USD.

finalruner · Apr 1, 2014

Most people stick with Intel as they offer pretty good all around processors if you have money, but if you're going for a good gaming processor on a budget buy a hexa core amd fx 6300. I built a computer with it recently and I have no complaints. Basically what you need right now is a new motherboard, new processor, and new gpu. If you want to keep the psu you have right now just get any Am3 + motherboard, the fx 6300, and the GeForce 750ti.
This will cost around $400 so save up. Good luck
