Cheap PC Build Performance Question

Solution
The fx-6300 is just $10-15 more expensive and way better. BF4 is precisely the kind of game which needs a better cpu than a fx-4xxx. An i5 or fx-8xxx would be the best, but with a fx-6300 is perfectly playable and considerably less expensive.
If you can spend buying a 7790 it will be very playable, but with a 7770 there will be some stuttering when you have active protection and someone throw missiles at you (I really hate that) or with maps like paracel storm with 32+ players. With very Little antialiasing it will play médium settings perfectly, with some monitors there is no difference between x2, x4 or x8 antialiasing. Yours is only 1600x900, so I think it's one of them.

So, a 7770 is good, but if you can afford the 7790, don't...

Yeah cool; that's what I was thinking. this is just a cheap PC build I put together for a friend and I wanted to make sure it would play what he wanted decently.
