Trying to help my friend decide if he needs to upgrade his CPU anytime soon or not. He currently is only able to play Battlefield 4 at 60FPS when settings are on Medium. Judging by his Processor I thought he could expect a lot better performance. He has the EVGA GTX 560 Ti so maybe that's bottlenecking his CPU.

Any suggestions?

Note: I don't have his Ram or motherboard information. Only the CPU and GPU and Windows 7

For 1080P, it's a bit overkill. But it will work. You won't get much better performance on an i5. Better, but not much better.

I'm sure his OS is 64 bit as he plays the crap out of steam games and stuff. I think he only had 8gb of ram. The ram isn't the big issue here though. I'm pretty sure his GPU is dated compared to what they have out there now.

What GPU would pair well with his FX 8150?

He said he would like to get a 780 Ti when the prices come down. So I guess if nothing will really bottleneck it than he should be fine. His PSU is plenty powerful enough to handle it. I think he has Corsair 600w or something like that.
