No, the speed of your GPU is the amazing part. 
Go to battlefield 4 settings and turn off vSync (vertical synchronization). It has no tangible benefits unless your FPS is ridiculously high without it, in which case it just reduces tearing.

I thought it was cpu that made difference, because i had 770 with Athlon and i had to prioritise cpu for bf4 every game, but now with haswell i7 it runs great, no stuttering and constant 60 fps even in explosions, also jets fly alot smoother and seem faster, with the Athlon fps use to go up to 90 but then dropped alot to 23, this is what i don't get, now it stays bang on 60 fps all the time except when loading map then shoots up to 250 lol, pointless, does fps make a difference in play ability it seemed when it use to drop i couldn't hardly move and would get killed every drop, sorry i am a noob and still learning,

Fps is the number of frame per second. The more frame the smoother the gameplay. Anyting less than 30 is generally considered unplayable (console games are usually 30fps). When frame rate drops the gameplay gets choppy, so instead of someone running you will see them disappear and appear at another location because the frames in between are lost.

Your i7 definitely made an improvement. Your Athlon was bottlenecking your GTX 770 quite a bit. Anything higher than a GTX 750ti, HD 7850, R9 265 is going to bottleneck. Anything over a 270/270x would bottleneck too much to make it worth having. You did the right thing upgrading to a more powerful CPU.
